Abstract
It is unclear whether cardiovascular risk factors are more common or if cardiovascular disease occurs more frequently in adults with late-onset Pompe disease (LOPD) than in the general population. We investigated the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular events in adults with LOPD compared to an individually matched control cohort.
