Dear editor, I wish to submit an original hypothesis article entitled "Bridging the gap between CVD and COVID-19: the modified LDL hypothesis" for consideration in "Frontiers in medicine".I confirm that this work is original and has not been published elsewhere, nor is it currently under consideration for publication elsewhere.Since little is known about the relationship between dyslipidemia, mainly the modification of LDL, CVD and COVID-19, I hereby hypothesize, for the first time, that Mox-LDL may be considered as a major factor that links the latter pathologies through its role in fibrinolytic pathways. I believe that this manuscript is appropriate for publication in "Frontiers in medicine" because it perfectly goes along with its overall aim and scope, especially that the work is concise, straight to the point and novel in presenting a brief overview onto Mox-LDL pro-atherosclerostic pathways and their implications for COVID-19.
