“…A high rate of CABG was similarly seen in a recent FH study on the presence of cardiovascular disease at the time of death, reaching 29% of deceased FH patients. 10 These results emphasize the diffuse and progressive nature of coronary atherosclerosis in FH and are in line with the observation that most hospitalizations of FH patients for cardiovascular disease are due to ischemic heart disease. 8 The impact of atherosclerosis in FH is not limited to the coronary arteries.…”

Kadangi aterosklerozė yra daugiafaktorinė liga, kardiovaskulinės ligos išsivystymo riziką pacientams, sergantiems ŠH, padidina ir kiti nepriklausomi 2 lentelė.…”

“…Aterosklerozės išplitimo vertinimo metodai pateikiami 4 lentelėje. Remiantis tyrimais, klasikiniai rizikos veiksniai dažniau buvo nustatyti tarp mirusių jauno amžiaus ŠH asmenų nei tarp mirusių vyresnio amžiaus [24]. Įvairių tyrimų metu įrodyta, kad padidėjusi lipoproteino (a) (Lp(a)) koncentracija yra susijusi su didesne ŠKL rizika tiek bendroje populiacijoje, tiek tarp sergančių ŠH [19,25].…”
