J. Meireles-Brandao: The Immunological Face of Atherosclerosis
J. Meireles-Brandao, Associate at SEDES – Association for Economic and Social Development, shared a post on LinkedIn about a recent article by Koen H M Prange et al., published in European Heart Journal, adding:
“Immunology, Inflammation, Macrophages… LDLc, TC, TGRL, RC, MVR, ApoB, IL-6
- beyond Cholesterol and in the context of Lipoprotein Disease.
Reducing inflammatory markers is important, but it doesn’t immediately translate into fewer events.
Inflammation is a consequence, addressing the cause is crucial.”
