Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Apolipoprotein E (apoE) polymorphism affects the risk of advanced coronary artery disease, but its role in early atherosclerosis remains unknown. We used positron emission tomography (PET) to study whether coronary reactivity or its response to pravastatin is related to the apoE genotype. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Samples from 44 mildly hypercholesterolaemic men (aged 35 +/- 4 years) of an earlier trial...
