Single LDL Apheresis Improves Endothelium-Dependent Vasodilatation in Hypercholesterolemic Humans

Abstract

We demonstrated that even a single session of LDL apheresis with the reduction of total LDL and oxidized LDL improved endothelial function. Our results suggest that total LDL and/or oxidized LDL may directly impair endothelial function in the human forearm vessel.
