Abstract
Atherosclerosis begins in childhood, and early initiation of prevention through behavioral means may lower the risk of future cardiovascular disease. The obesity epidemic threatens the cardiovascular health of today's children. Genetic dyslipidemias such as familial hypercholesterolemia and the presence of multiple risk factors in the same child or adolescent may require pharmacologic therapy.Entities:
