This work is a concise clinical summary of the identification and treatment of the child and adolescent at high risk for early atherosclerosis. It includes the epidemiologic rationale for a screening and treatment program, the history of pediatric interest in atherosclerosis and a review of the important lipid parameters. Hypercholesterolemia is described in terms of incidence, pathophysiology, genetics, differential diagnosis and treatment. Diet modification and growth monitoring are described in detail. The latest information on pediatric pharmacotherapy is included. It is written in a clear and concise style with a focus on practical hints to help the practitioner with day to day management of clinical problems. It draws on the wealth of experience of pediatricians, nutrionists and behavioral scientists at the Center for Atherosclerosis Prevention at the Schneider Children's Hospital and other university centers.
