Background: Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is a monogenic lipid metabolism disorder characterised by markedlyelevated serum low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol level due to a mutation in the LDL receptor gene. Clinical featuresof FH include premature atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease.Aim: To explore associations between noninvasive markers of atherosclerosis including intima–media thickness (IMT) andpulse wave velocity (PWV) and blood lipids, blood pressure (BP) and obesity in a group of young patients with FH.Methods: Study population included 36 patients aged < 35 years with the diagnosis of FH based on the Simon Broome Register criteria, and their 49 relatives who comprised the control group free of FH.Results: Me...
