Familial hypercholesterolemia supravalvular aortic stenosis and extensive atherosclerosis

Indian Heart Journal
Rajpal Prajapati, Vikas Agrawal

Abstract

Familial hypercholesterolemia is an autosomally dominant disorder caused by various mutations in low-density lipoprotein receptor genes. This can lead to premature coronary atherosclerosis and cardiac-related death. The symptoms are more severe in the homozygous type of the disease. Premature malignant atherogenesis leading to aortic root abnormalities causing supravalvular aortic stenosis is rare. Our case demonstrates the diagnostic imaging findings of the phenotype of patients who have severe elevated LDL with familial hypercolesterolemia.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.
