Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The relation of lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)] and proprotein convertase substilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) levels to coronary artery disease (CAD) has been well established in the general population, while little is known about the association between Lp(a) or PCSK9 and atherosclerotic lesions of different artery sites in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). METHODS: One hundred and...
