Dyslipidemia and elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels are causally involved in the chronic inflammatory response of the vascular wall1. LDL oxidation in the intima and the sterile vascular inflammation associated with it engage adaptive immune responses that profoundly modulate atherosc...
