    Abstract: The present invention relates to RNAi constructs for reducing expression of the LPA gene, which encodes apolipoprotein(a), a component of lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) particles. Methods of using such RNAi constructs to treat or prevent cardiovascular disease, such as coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, stroke, and myocardial infarction, and to reduce serum Lp(a) levels are also described.
