Abstract

Lipoprotein(a) is an independent and genetically predominant factor in determining cardiovascular diseases in children and adolescents, given that diet and lipid-lowering agents have no impact on Lp(a) serum levels. Many studies in the literature highlight the atherogenic and prothrombotic potential of lipoprotein(a) in children with a family history of cardiovascular disease and hypercholesterolemia, causing coronary vascular disease, cerebral accident and peripheral arterial diseases. Given this potential, lipoprotein(a) dosage can be involved in the prevention and reduction of cardiovascular risk factors in childhood and adolescence, thus reducing morbidity and mortality.
