DOI: 10.1016/j.atherosclerosis.2020.11.012
Abstract: BACKGROUND AND AIMS Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is associated with premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Semi-automated plaque characterization (SAPC) by coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA) provides information regarding coronary plaque burden and plaque characterization. Our aim… read more here.
