Acute effects of low density lipoprotein apheresis on metabolic parameters of apolipoprotein B
Apheresis is a treatment option for patients with severe hypercholesterolemia and coronary artery disease. It is unknown whether such therapy changes kinetic parameters of lipoprotein metabolism, such as apolipoprotein B (apoB) secretion rates ...
