Carotid and Aortic Stiffness in Patients with Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia

BACKGROUND: The role of plasma cholesterol in impairing arterial function and elasticity remains unclear. We evaluated arterial stiffness, measured locally in the common carotid artery by high-resolution echo-tracking, and aortic stiffness, using carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) (the “gold-...
