20-Year Follow-up of Statins in Children with Familial Hypercholesterolemia

TL;DR: In this study, initiation of statin therapy during childhood in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia slowed the progression of carotid intima-media thickness and reduced the risk of cardiovascular disease in adulthood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficacy and safety of lipoprotein apheresis in children with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia: A systematic review.

TL;DR: LA seems to be a safe therapy and substantially reduces LDL-C and xanthomata in children with HoFH and the efficacy with respect to CVD protection as compared with only pharmacologic and dietary treatment remains unclear.
Journal ArticleDOI

Marked plaque regression in homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia

TL;DR: This study describes two severely affected young HoFH patients in whom profound plaque reduction was observed with CCTA after intensive lipid lowering therapy with statins, ezetimibe, LDL apheresis, and evinacumab, and shows that atherosclerotic plaques possess the ability to regress at young age, even inHoFH patients.
