Show more >Atherosclerosis begins during childhood and, from that age, its development is closely related to the concentration of plasma LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) [1]. Clinical cardiovascular (CV) complications of hypercholesterolemia (HC) occur later in adulthood. Screening and management of children with HC, particularly in its most severe presentations, are therefore part of the primary prevention of CV diseases [2]. HC screening strategies in children have been evaluated by several prospective studies and reviewed by expert panels in recent years [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. This paper explains why plasma cholesterol should be measured at least once in every child.Show less >
