Abstract
Patients with FCHL have increased carotid IMT that is strongly related to the apoB/apoA-I ratio, a measure of overall lipid abnormalities. The findings support the atherogenicity of the lipid phenotype in FCHL beyond associated risk factors. They also have implications for diagnosis and management of CVD risk in this condition.
