Abstract
Background and Aims : Lipoprotein apheresis (LA) acutely increases coronary microcirculation blood flow (BF) measured with different techniques, which are time-consuming, costly, and invasive. The ocular vasculature may be assumed as an easily accessible window to systemic microcirculation. Recent advances in imaging techniques enable to quantify ocular microcirculation blood flow (BF) in a quick and non-invasive manner, which represents a wonderful opportunity to study the short-term changes in optic nerve head (ONH) BF upon LA in inherited hypercholesterolemia (IH).
