Serum phosphatidylcholines and lysophosphatidylcholines are inversely related to vascular damage and heart rate in patients with atherosclerosis

The rapidly growing discipline of lipidomics allows to study a wide spectrum of lipid species in body fluids and provides new insights into the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease. We investigated serum phosphatidylcholine (PC) and lysophosphatidylcholine (lysoPC) species in relation to arterial stiffness, hemodynamics and endothelial dysfunction in symptomatic patients with atherosclerosis and in healthy controls.
