Abstract
OBJECTIVES We aimed to evaluate the levels of serum lipoprotein a, LP (a), in Jordanian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM); and to examine its relation to glycemic control, metabolic syndrome (MS) and duration of DM. The LP (a) is considered one of the independent risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) in the general population. METHODS Fasting blood samples were drawn from 51 diabetic patients with type 2 DM and 31 non-diabetic age and sex control subjects. Serum LP (a) was measured along with other parameters, including triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) and glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c). Correlation analyses were performed between LP (a) and the various variables measured. RESULTS LP (a) measurement showed a skewed distribution towards the lower levels in both groups. Mean LP (a) levels showed a statistically insignificant difference between the two groups. No correlations of LP (a) were observed with age, sex or body mass index (BMI). No correlations of LP (a) with LDL-c, HDL-c, TG, TC, MS, DM duration or HbA1c were observed. The LP (a) serum levels were significantly higher in type 2 diabetic patients with retinopathy. CONCLUSIONS LP (a) serum levels are not increased in type 2 diabetic patients; so, LP (a) may not be a reliable marker for early therapeutic interventions in DM patients, even in high-risk for thrombosis groups.

Abstract
Dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is a rare but important complication of myocardial infarction. It occurs acutely and may mimic the presentation of papillary muscle rupture or acquired ventricular septal defect. Unlike these mechanical complications, it does not require circulatory support or cardiac surgical intervention. Recognition is critical because it typically responds to volume loading and beta blockade. We report a case who displayed many classical features of this condition.
