Introduction
The most important risk factors for atherosclerosis include
dyslipidemias, which represent an increase or decrease
in plasma lipoproteins involved directly and indirectly
in the atherothrombotic process.1
Many studies
have described the high prevalence and incidence of this
disorder in patients submitted to liver transplantation.2-6
Furthermore, other cardiovascular risk factors, such as
hypertension, obesity and diabetes have been commonly
reported after liver transplants.3, 5, 7 Therefore, patients
submitted to this procedure have an increased risk of developing
cardiovascular diseases – which have already
been indicated as the third most common cause of death
in this population by certain authors.8
