Cellular cholesterol efflux is a key step in reverse cholesterol transport that may impact on atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk. The process may be reliant on the availability of apolipoprotein (apo) B‐100‐containing lipoproteins to accept cholesterol from high‐density lipoprotein. Evolocumab and atorvastatin are known to lower plasma apoB‐100‐containing lipoproteins that could impact on cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC).
