Understanding the impact of Achilles lipid content on tendon mechanical parameters: a cross-sectional study of people with familial hypercholesterolemia and healthy controls

Abstract Background Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic condition that affects cholesterol metabolism, resulting in life-long elevated serum levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Systemically elevated cholesterol levels are associated with the onset of tendon injury and potentia...
