Clinical Implications of Monogenic Versus Polygenic Hypercholesterolemia: Long‐Term Response to Treatment, Coronary Atherosclerosis Burden, and Cardiovascular Events

Clinical Implications of Monogenic Versus Polygenic Hypercholesterolemia: Long‐Term Response to Treatment, Coronary Atherosclerosis Burden, and Cardiovascular Events

Background Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) may arise from deleterious monogenic variants in FH‐causing genes as well as from a polygenic cause. We evaluated the relationships between monogenic FH and polygenic hypercholesterolemia in influencing the long‐term response to therapy and the risk of a...
