Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Achilles tendon thickness is one of the most specific physical findings of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), and thus it is used as one of the clinical diagnostic criteria. However, the objective assessment using imaging has not been used for a long time. We review the recent topic of this matter and discuss how this important assessment should be implemented in clinical settings. RECENT...
