928 – In Vitro Modeling of the Effects of Impaired HDL on Atherogenesis in Long COVID Syndrome
Background The mechanisms that drive SARS-CoV-2-related cardiovascular complications of Long COVID (PASC) such as atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) remain unclear. Prior studies have shown alterations of HDL function in infections and SARS-CoV-2 infection, persistent oxidative stress, lipid abnormalities and macrophage dysfunction post COVID-19 that may contribute to HDL dysfunction and CVD. However, the effect of…
