Autoantibody titers against OxLDL are correlated with Achilles tendon thickness in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia

Autoantibody titers against OxLDL are correlated with Achilles tendon thickness in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia

Achilles tendon xanthomas are associated with increased cardiovascular risk in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL), the antibodies against OxLDL, and the LDL-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) may play important roles in atherogenesis. We inv...
