A new study shows young adults with higher exposure to atherogenic lipoprotein particles may be at a greater risk of developing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease later in life.
At six weeks, the average low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels among TTT therapy recipients and individuals receiving statins of high intensity were 70.0 mg/dL and 67.0 mg/dL, respectively.
Familial hypercholesterolemia is characterized by an elevated level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and an increased risk of premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
Low density lipoprotein (LDL) is one of several lipoprotein particles that transport cholesterol (a lipophilic molecule) through the aqueous environment of the blood. Other cholesterol carriers ...
