Echocardiographic Calcium Score of Aortic Valve Correlates with Coronary Artery Calcium Score in Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia

Echocardiographic Calcium Score of Aortic Valve Correlates with Coronary Artery Calcium Score in Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia

Background: Patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) are at a high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The coronary artery calcification (CAC) score by the Ct-scan Agatston calcium score (ACS) > 100 classifies FH at a higher risk. The echocardiographic calcium s...
