Pediatric approach to prevention of coronary heart disease

W E Winter et al. J Fla Med Assoc. 1993 Oct.

Abstract

Management of children with hypercholesterolemia has proven to be a controversial issue. The appropriate approach is to test those at highest risk for premature coronary heart disease most likely to benefit from intervention. Recommendations are reviewed in the context of the National Cholesterol Education Program Expert Panel on Blood Cholesterol Levels in Children and Adolescents. An overview is provided of the problem of preventing coronary heart disease through childhood intervention.
