Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: In individuals with familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH), ultrasonographic measurement of carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaque may provide a non-invasive assessment of cardiovascular risk. METHODS: We examined carotid artery IMT and its determinants in 79 non-smoking, normotensive, treated men and women with FH aged 26-46 years, and in 79 non-smoking, normotensive sex-, age- and body mass...
