What the study is about
This study looks at how lipoproteins, which are particles in the blood that transport cholesterol, influence heart and blood vessel health. Beyond just their levels, the way these particles function plays a key role in preventing or contributing to disease. In some conditions, like high cholesterol or diabetes, lipoproteins may not work properly, increasing the risk of clogged arteries and other complications.
The investigators aim to study these changes in people with lipid disorders to better understand their impact on blood health and to find new ways to prevent and treat heart disease.
Conditions: Lipid Disorders
