Role of low-density lipoprotein apheresis

Paul Ziajka. Am J Cardiol. .

Abstract

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis has been shown to reduce plasma levels of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and lipoprotein(a). In addition to these lipoprotein changes, LDL apheresis induces atherosclerosis regression, improves myocardial perfusion and endothelial function, and may reduce cardiovascular event rates.
