Two Cases of Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia in Children Effectively Managed With Pitavastatin and Ezetimibe Combination Therapy
Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) strongly predisposes individuals to atherosclerosis, including coronary artery disease, leading to death from cardiovascular diseases in > 60% of untreated cases. Appropriate intervention from childhood is necessary. In Japan, only pitavastatin is approved for pediatric FH. A poor response to statins makes treatment challenging; optimal intervention may require combination therapy.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Case Reports is different from other case report journals. Our aim is to directly improve global health and increase clinical understanding using case reports to convey important best practice information. We welcome case reports from all areas of Medicine, Nursing, Dentistry, and Veterinary Science and may include: -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates an important best practice teaching message -Any clinical case or procedure which illustrates the appropriate use of an important clinical guideline or systematic review. As well as: -The management of novel or very uncommon diseases -A common disease presenting in an uncommon way -An uncommon disease masquerading as something more common -Cases which expand understanding of disease pathogenesis -Cases where the teaching point is based on an error -Cases which allow us to re-think established medical lore -Unreported adverse effects of interventions (drug, procedural, or other).
