Abstrakt: Severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), defined as plasma triglyceride (TG) concentration > 10 mmol/L, is relatively uncommon, and its implications for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk remain somewhat unclear. We evaluated the association between severe HTG and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), a marker for ASCVD.
