Influence of LDL apheresis on LDL subtypes in patients with coronary heart disease and severe hyperlipoproteinemia

Influence of LDL apheresis on LDL subtypes in patients with coronary heart disease and severe hyperlipoproteinemia

Epidemiologic studies and in vitro experiments indicate that low density lipoprotein (LDL) subtypes differ concerning their atherogenic potential. Small, dense LDL are more atherogenic than large, buoyant LDL. LDL apheresis is a potent therapeutic modality to lower elevated LDL-cholesterol. It is un...
