Inflammatory and thrombotic processes are associated with vascular dysfunction in children with familial hypercholesterolemia.
- Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests that children with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) have endothelial dysfunction. Inflammatory and haemostatic abnormalities are associated with advanced atherosclerosis and increased cardiovascular events. However, it is unknown whether these abnormalities present in FH children and contribute to their vascular dysfunction.
