Elevated blood LDL-cholesterol is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease because LDL-cholesterol promotes atherosclerotic plaque formation.
“elevated blood LDL-cholesterol (hypercholesterolaemia) is a major risk factor for this because LDL-cholesterol promotes the formation of atherosclerotic plaques on the walls of blood vessels, narrowing and eventually completely occluding blood flow [7].”
From Post-translational regulation of the low-density lipoprotein receptor provides new targets for cholesterol regulation (2024) · cites this paper as [7]
The Atherogenic Stimuli section identifies elevated plasma cholesterol as a major driver of atherosclerosis and LDL as an atherogenic lipoprotein. The Cellular Components section says persistent atherogenic stimuli can narrow the lumen and reduce blood flow. The citing sentence’s further claim that plaque formation eventually completely occludes flow is not supported: the paper describes thrombosis superimposed on plaques as the cause of the most severe acute consequences.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
