To assess prospectively the risk of future stroke associated with baseline concentration of lipoprotein(a),abbreviated Lp(a).Among nearly 15,000 predominantly white,healthy,middle-aged men followed in the Physician's Health Study for a period of 7.5 years,we found no evidence of association between baseline plasma concentration of Lp(a)and future risk of total or thromboembolic stroke.
