The Use of Achilles Tendon Sonography to Distinguish Familial Hypercholesterolemia from Other Genetic Dyslipidemias

26 Aug 2005

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Achilles tendon (AT) xanthomas, specific for familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), may be clinically undetectable. We assessed the usefulness of AT sonography in the diagnosis of FH. METHODS AND RESULTS: Sonographic AT characteristics were evaluated in 127 subjects with FH (81 genetically ascertained), 84 familial combined hyperlipidemia, 79 polygenic hypercholesterolemia, and 88 normolipidemic controls....
