Cardio Therapeutic Updates

lp-a.org is an independent, English-language reference on lipoprotein(a) for clinicians and researchers: cardiologists, lipidologists, vascular internists, general practitioners with an interest in prevention, and the people who design and run the trials. It is one of the Cardio Therapeutic Updates sites, a small collection of independent cardiovascular websites from the same editorial hand; the full collection is listed at the bottom of this page.

It keeps four things current in one place: the evidence (a curated library of the landmark studies and the newest publications, each summarised and linked to its DOI), the trials (a tracker of every phase 2 and 3 programme with dates from ClinicalTrials.gov), the guidance (consensus statements and guidelines, dated) and the timeline (what has happened and what is due, from Berg's 1963 paper to the outcomes readouts of 2026 to 2031).

Video comes from Radcliffe Cardiology, whose interviews and sessions are embedded with their agreement; the framing around them is ours.

The Cardio Therapeutic Updates collection

Cardio Therapeutic Updates is the family name for the cardiovascular sites we build and edit. The sites share their editors and their standards (every item dated and linked to its source; the source remains the truth). They differ in what they cover and in how they move: some are evidence libraries that aim to be complete on a single therapeutic question, others are update sites in the traditional sense, following the field as it publishes.

lp-a.org, this site

Evidence-oriented. The lipoprotein(a) literature in one library: the landmark canon, the trial tracker, guidance and video, with new studies added as the field produces them.

cetpinhibition.org

Evidence-oriented. CETP inhibition on the same model: the five drugs, the trials that made and unmade them, the genetics that reframed the class from raising HDL to lowering apoB. CETP inhibitors lower Lp(a), so the two libraries overlap.

hartvaat.nl

Update-oriented. Dutch-language platform for cardiovascular medicine: daily news, video and literature from the international journals, selected and translated for practice in the Netherlands.
