Study Summary

The primary objective of this study is to measure how LDL apheresis affects levels of inflammatory and cholesterol markers in human beings. The investigators will address this question by drawing pre- and post-LDL apheresis blood from patients who are undergoing this procedure. A secondary objective of this study is to learn how specific inflammatory markers behave in our blood in terms of time to rebound back to normal levels. The investigators will address this question by drawing post-LDL apheresis blood at predetermined time intervals.
