Implication

May support carotid screening in familial hypercholesterolemia; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.

Structured PICO

P
Population
30 normotensive patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH)
O
Outcome
Presence and severity of carotid vascular lesions detected by echo-Dopplersurrogate

Noninvasive echo-Doppler evaluation reveals a high prevalence of asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis in normotensive patients with familial hypercholesterolemia, which correlates strongly with atherogenic lipid profiles.
