May support hemodynamic benefits of repeat LDL apheresis in FH; hypothesis-generating and requires confirmation in controlled trials.
Does repeat LDL apheresis improve peripheral hemodynamics in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia?
Repeat LDL apheresis improves peripheral hemodynamics and reduces blood viscosity in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia.
Rubba et al. (1990) studied this question.
