    Lipoprotein(a) and a novel Inflammatory-Lipid Index are independent predictors of major adverse cardiovascular events in ACS patients with type 2 diabetes.

  • 2

    The study analyzed 1,910 patients over a median follow-up of 5.5 years, confirming the prognostic value of Lp(a) and the Inflammatory-Lipid Index.

  • 3

    Patients with high levels of both Lp(a) and the Inflammatory-Lipid Index had a MACE incidence of 57.7%, indicating a significantly elevated risk.

  • 4

    Adding Lp(a) and the Inflammatory-Lipid Index to traditional risk models improved predictive performance and reclassification for cardiovascular risk.

  • 5

    The study introduces a combined assessment approach that enhances risk stratification for diabetic ACS patients beyond conventional factors.
