Background: The pathophysiology of lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] remains obscure. We conducted a phenome wide analysis study (PheWAS) to identify pleiotropic effects of LPA variants. Methods: Among 51,843 European-ancestry participants (age 58±16 years, 54% female) of the electronic MEdical Records and Genomics (eMERGE) network we assessed whether LPA variants exhibited pleiotropic affects through an electronic health record-based PheWAS. We adjusted significant associations by presence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD; defined as a composite of coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral artery disease) to determine whether those associations were independent of ASCVD. Results: In PheWAS analysis, we tested 864 phecodes with 36 independent LPA variants. We identified 21 significant associations with non-ASCVD phenotypes including heart failure, aortic valve stenosis, and chronic kidney disease of which 14 were replicated across independent cohorts. The strength of associations between the LPA variant rs10455872 and both heart failure and aortic valve stenosis related phecodes were significantly attenuated after adjustment for ASCVD. However, the association with chronic kidney disease phecode remained independent following adjustment for ASCVD without any attenuation in the estimated odds ratio (Table). Conclusions: LPA genetic variants were associated with aortic valve stenosis, heart failure and chronic kidney disease. The observed association of LPA variant rs10455872 with aortic stenosis and heart failure appear to be partially mediated by ASCVD, while the association with chronic kidney disease appears to be independent of ASCVD. Additional studies are needed to elucidate potential mechanisms by which Lp(a) may contribute to the pathogenesis of non-ASCVD disease phenotypes.

Background: Acceleration time (AT)/ejection time (ET) ratio is a marker of aortic valve stenosis (AS) severity and predicts outcome in moderate-severe AS. Methods: We explored the association of increased AT/ET ratio on prognosis in 1530 asymptomatic patients with presumably mild-moderate AS, normal ejection fraction, and without known diabetes or cardiovascular disease. Patients were part of the SEAS study (Simvastatin Ezetimibe Aortic Stenosis). Patients were grouped according to the optimal AT/ET ratio threshold to predict cardiovascular death and heart failure hospitalization. Low-gradient severe AS was identified as combined valve area ≤1.0 cm 2 and mean gradient <40 mm Hg. Outcome was assessed in Cox regression analyses, and results are reported as hazard ratio and 95% CI. Results: Higher AT/ET ratio was significantly associated with lower systolic blood pressure, lower left ventricular ejection fraction, lower stress-corrected midwall shortening, low flow, and with higher left ventricular mass and higher peak aortic jet velocity. AT/ET ratio ≥0.32 provided the optimal cutoff for predicting incident cardiovascular death and heart failure hospitalization in the total study sample. In patients with low-gradient severe AS, this threshold was >0.32. AT/ET ratio ≥0.32 had a 79% higher risk of cardiovascular death and heart failure hospitalization (hazard ratio, 1.79 [95% CI, 1.20–2.68]). In patients with low-gradient severe AS, AT/ET ratio >0.32 was associated with a 2-fold higher risk of cardiovascular death and heart failure hospitalization (hazard ratio, 2.15 [95% CI, 1.22–3.77]). Conclusions: In asymptomatic nonsevere AS and low-gradient severe AS, higher AT/ET ratio was associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.
