BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death worldwide, and aberrant phagocytosis may be involved in its development. Understanding this aspect may provide new avenues for prompt CAD diagnosis.
Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) is an important factor in the development of cardiovascular disease, making its management a key aspect of cardiovascular health. While high-dose statin therapy is often recommended for LDL-C reduction, car...
