Objective-Mendelian randomization studies revealed a causal role for remnant cholesterol in cardiovascular disease. Remnant particles accumulate in the arterial wall, potentially propagating local and systemic inflammation. We evaluated the impact of remnant cholesterol on arterial wall inflammation, circulating monocytes, and bone marrow in patients with familial dysbetalipoproteinemia (FD).Approach and Results-Arterial wall inflammation and bone marrow activity were measured using F-18-FDG PET/CT. Monocyte phenotype was assessed with flow cytometry. The correlation between remnant levels and hematopoietic activity was validated in the CGPS (Copenhagen General Population Study). We found a 1.2-fold increase of F-18-FDG uptake in the arterial wall in patients with FD (n=17, age 60 +/- 8 years, remnant cholesterol: 3.26 [2.07-5.71]) compared with controls (n=17, age 61 +/- 8 years, remnant cholesterol 0.29 [0.27-0.40]; P
