DOI: 10.1007/s00431-020-03785-3
Abstract: In children, arterial alterations occur with increased intima-media thickness as well as vascular diameter enlargement. Both conditions correlate with higher cardiovascular risk in adults, and both the array and proportion of these alterations are important… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12325-021-02031-y
Abstract: Homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (HoFH) is characterised by extremely elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and results from multiple mutations in genes affecting the LDL receptor pathway. Patients are at risk of premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular… read more here.
