Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To determine the calcium score and coronary plaque burden in asymptomatic statin-treated patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) compared with a control group of patients with low probability of coronary artery disease, having non-anginal chest pain, using CT. DESIGN, SETTING AND PATIENTS: 101 asymptomatic patients with FH (mean age 53 ± 7 years; 62 men) and 126 patients with...
