Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Intima-media thickness (IMT) is a well-described marker of cardiovascular disease. In this study we aim to determine whether low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels and disease-related mutation status can predict IMT in patients with severe familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) referred for or on LDL apheresis. METHODS: Genetic screening, lipid profile testing, and IMT measurements were performed on a...
