Carbohydrate Restriction-Induced Elevations in LDL-Cholesterol and Atherosclerosis: The KETO Trial | JACC: Advances

Coronary plaque in metabolically healthy individuals with carbohydrate restriction-induced LDL-C ≥190 mg/dL on KETO for a mean of 4.7 years is not greater than a matched cohort with 149 mg/dL lower average LDL-C. There is no association between LDL-C and plaque burden in either cohort. (Diet-induced Elevations in LDL-C and Progression of Atherosclerosis [Keto-CTA]; NCT057333255)
