The most common cause of premature death in the U.S. and in many of
the world's countries is atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease,
which includes coronary heart disease, peripheral vascular disease,
and stroke. Most epidemiologic studies of risk factors for
atherosclerosis have been conducted in adult populations, yet there
is now clear evidence that the atherosclerotic process begins at a
very early age. This book reviews recent findings that help
physicians identify and manage children and adolescents who are at
the highest risk for developing premature cardiovascular disease in
later life. It reviews cholesterol levels, blood pressure levels,
body size and tobacco use as risk factors for obesity, diabetes,
coronary artery calcification and increased carotid artery
intimal-medial thickness; it also discusses the measurement,
familial aggregation, tracking and management of each of these risk
factors.
