Pediatric Dyslipidemia: A Practical Guide
Description:
Pediatric lipidology is a relatively new field of pediatrics. Premature cardiovascular diseases account for 30% of mortality in the United States. There is a heightened awareness regarding early recognition, prevention and management of childhood dyslipidemia.
This book fulfils the need for a concise, quick-reference guide on clinical approach to the management of pediatric lipid disorders. Rational and optimal medical practice approaches are outlined throughout the text. Current clinical guidelines for treatment of genetic and acquired pediatric dyslipidemias are reviewed with an emphasis on new data and novel therapeutic options. This book is aimed to guide clinical decisions and improve care of at-risk youth in the primary prevention of premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
Written by experts in the field, Pediatric Dyslipidemia includes the most up-to-date scientific and clinical information for pediatricians, endocrinologists, primary care practitioners and any other medical practitioners treating children with dyslipidemia.
Preface
The vision behind this book, entitled Pediatric Dyslipidemia: A Practical Guide, was to create a comprehensive and easily accessible guide for quick referencing when lipid abnormalities are encountered in an office setting. The book is designed to include figures and tables with a clinical focus for accurate diagnosis and management of pediatric dyslipidemia. In addition, this book on pediatric dyslipidemia distinguishes itself by its concise nature, reader friendliness for trainees, practicing pediatricians, endocrinologists, and other subspecialists, emphasizing practical management strategies readily applicable in a busy clinical practice. Most of the chapters include clinical vignettes to discuss commonly encountered clinical scenarios. National and international leaders in pediatric lipidology contributed to the book, and we are grateful to the authors for their knowledge and invaluable contributions. We want to dedicate a special acknowledgment to children with dyslipidemia who taught us important lessons about primary prevention, risk mitigation, diagnosis, and management.
