Publication: Vascular surgical procedures in patients with familial hypercholesterolaemia: is it too late?
Abstract
Letter to the Editor:
Because of heightened awareness, more patients with FH are likely to be diagnosed and treated early. This may decrease their risk of developing non-coronary vascular disease. On the other hand, effective treatment will prolong the survival of patients with FH. In turn, this may increase their risk of developing non-coronary vascular disease. Whatever the pattern, vascular specialists need to know that these patients form a special group with their own characteristics and outcomes.
