Large multiple coronary artery aneurysm in adult patients: a report on three patients and a review of the literature.

abstract：:Coronary heart disease is the single largest cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. The link between elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and coronary heart disease (CHD) has been clearly established. However, triglycerides (TG) are increasingly believed to be independently assoc...
