CardioVasc Aims and scope

Der Gemeinsame Bundesausschuss hat 2008 die Kriterien für eine Apherese-Behandlung bei erhöhtem Lipoprotein(a) definiert. Studien, das Deutsche Lipoproteinapherese-Register und Fallberichte belegen eine hohe Absenkungsrate für kardiovaskuläre Ereignisse (> 80 %) beim Vergleich mit der Situation vor Beginn der Lipoproteinapherese-Therapie. Dabei spielen wahrscheinlich auch pleiotrope Effekte eine Rolle.
