Title: Assessing Cardiovascular disease: looking beyond cholesterol
Post by: Aprilflower on August 26, 2022, 02:21:52 PM

Hi all,

Was supposed to be taking a bit of a break, from the forum, but this looks too interesting not to share.  Some of the technical terms are a bit beyond me but it's still a very informative read.

Thanks Aprilflower, interesting paper. It is probably the clearest explanation I have ever seen of the mechanism of plaque formation in cardiovascular disease. Far clearer than usual attempts to explain atherosclerosis using the cholesterol theory.
