Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the relationship between flow-mediated vasodilation and various lipid and endothelial activation markers in patients with severe hypercholesterolemia, a high-risk group for cardiovascular issues.
- In a sample of 58 patients with severe hypercholesterolemia and 50 control subjects, results showed significant differences in lipid profiles, apoproteins, and levels of asymmetric dimethylarginine, indicating a higher risk among patients.
- There was a strong negative correlation between flow-mediated vasodilation and markers like asymmetric dimethylarginine and apoprotein B, suggesting that impaired vasodilation is linked to worse cardiovascular health in these patients.
