Atherosclerosis is a chronic disease that begins in early childhood, and without intervention, progresses throughout life, and inevitably worsens over time, sometimes rapidly. LDL cholesterol, beyond being a cardiovascular risk factor, is a causal agent of atherosclerosis. Without LDL cholesterol there is no atherosclerosis, so the evolution of the disease is modifiable, and even reversible. Copyright © 2024 The Authors. Publicado por Elsevier España, S.L.U.
