Achieved Lp(a) levels by PCSK9 inhibition and risk of CV events

A. showed a linear association at all Lp(a) levels in FOURIER
B. showed a linear association starting at ~30 nmol/L Lp(a) in FOURIER
C. were associated, but dependent of change in corrected LDL-c in ODYSSEY OUTCOMES
D. were not associated; baseline Lp(a) levels and CV risk are associated
