Abstract
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is the most common monogenic disease leading to the accelerated development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Despite increasing medical knowledge, diagnostic testing, and a growing number of therapeutic options, the effectiveness of detecting and treating FH remains highly insufficient. Only early detection (as early as possible) and optimal treatment in pediatric patients will lead to a significant reduction in morbidity and mortality from atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in later years. We present the guidelines for the management of FH in children and adolescents in Poland. This document is an update of the 2014 Position Paper of the Lipid Expert Forum.
期刊介绍:
Archives of Medical Science (AMS) publishes high quality original articles and reviews of recognized scientists that deal with all scientific medicine. AMS opens the possibilities for young, capable scientists. The journal would like to give them a chance to have a publication following matter-of-fact, professional review by outstanding, famous medical scientists. Thanks to that they will have an opportunity to present their study results and/or receive useful advice about the mistakes they have made so far.
The second equally important aim is a presentation of review manuscripts of recognized scientists about the educational capacity, in order that young scientists, often at the beginning of their scientific carrier, could constantly deepen their medical knowledge and be up-to-date with current guidelines and trends in world-wide medicine. The fact that our educational articles are written by world-famous scientists determines their innovation and the highest quality.
