Abstract excerpt

We investigated the association between histologically defined atherosclerotic lesions in the carotid arteries and the genetic variants of APOE and LPL in a population-based sample of Finns aged 85 or over. Post-mortem analysis of carotid arteries was performed in 240 subjects. Atherosclerotic lesions were categorized according to the modified American Heart Association criteria, and classified into four...
