[AECA plasmatic levels in patients with severe dyslipidemia and carotid stenosis].
Anti-endothelial cell antibodies (AECA) are a heterogeneous family of autoantibodies directed against antigens adhering to endothelial cells. These autoantibodies have a pathogenic role in disease characterized by endothelial damage. Aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between AECA and carotid artery stenosis at early stages of atherosclerosis process.
