Association between LVEF and Lp(a). A – LVEF values in patients with different Lp(a) quartiles. The Lp(a) ranges in quartile 1, quartile 2, quartile 3, and quartile 4 were < 0.07 g/l, 0.07–0.13 g/l, 0.14–0.24 g/l, and > 0.24 g/l, respectively. N = 367 for quartile 1, 470 for quartile 2, 370 for quartile 3, and 404 for quartile 4. P for trend < 0.01. B – Prevalence of LVEF < 50% in patients with different Lp(a) quartiles. P < 0.01 among four group. C – Plasma Lp(a) levels in patients with different LVEF categories (< 35%, 35–49%, ≥ 50%). N = 1553 for LVEF < 35%, 38 for LVEF of 35–49%, and 20 for LVEF ≥ 50%. P for trend < 0.05
