Abstract excerpt

AIM: The 2017 Japan Atherosclerosis Society (JAS) familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) criteria adopt a cut-off value of ≥ 9 mm of Achilles tendon thickness (ATT) detected by X-ray as one of the three key items. This threshold was determined based on an old data evaluating the ATT of 36 non-FH individuals that was published in 1977. Although the specificity of these clinical criteria is extremely high due to a...
