Correlation between non–HDL-C and Lp(a) in control and hypercholesterolemia patients. The relationship between non–HDL-C and Lp(a) in control (pink, n = 272) and hypercholesterolemia (blue, n = 256) cohorts was examined. A linear trendline, associated Pearson correlation coefficient and P value for the control (r = 0.064; P = 0.290) and FH cohorts (r < 0.001; P = 0.997) are displayed here. The observed trend indicates that there is no correlation between the plasma levels of the 2 variables in either cohort. Lp(a), Lipoprotein(a); non–HDL-C, non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol.
