Case Report: Severe hypertriglyceridaemia and multivessel coronary artery disease – management and plaque characteristics
In a patient with severely elevated serum triglycerides and premature three-artery disease, low plaque lipid content was established with the NIRS investigation. Pharmacological management of very severe hypertriglyceridaemia with intravenous insulin and heparin therapy can rapidly decrease triglyceride levels.
