Abstract
Purpose of review: Pediatric healthcare providers have increasingly become aware of the need for timely and informative transition of adolescents and young adults with chronic medical conditions such as diabetes and cystic fibrosis. However, there is paucity of published data on the importance of and most effective way to transition youth with lipid disorders who are at increased risk of premature cardiovascular disease.
Recent findings: Evidence shows that atherosclerosis begins at a young age. However, there are no guidelines on the transition of adolescents and young adults with dyslipidemia. In addition, there are conflicting guidelines for lipid management in children versus adults, despite advances in medical pharmacotherapies for dyslipidemia. The lack of guidelines for transition and discordant recommendations for management of this vulnerable population places young adults at-risk for worsening of their underlying disease, and premature cardiovascular events.
期刊介绍：
The aim of this journal is to systematically provide expert views on current basic science and clinical advances in the field of atherosclerosis and highlight the most important developments likely to transform the field of cardiovascular prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
We accomplish this aim by appointing major authorities to serve as Section Editors who select leading experts from around the world to provide definitive reviews on key topics and papers published in the past year. We also provide supplementary reviews and commentaries from well-known figures in the field. An Editorial Board of internationally diverse members suggests topics of special interest to their country/region and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research.
