TL;DR: The role of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) in the evaluation and management of CVD risk was discussed in this article, where the authors highlighted approaches aimed at minimizing the adverse public health-related consequences associated with hypertriglyceridemic states.

TL;DR: This statement proposes strategies for early identification of excessive weight gain by using body mass index, for dietary and physical activity interventions during health supervision encounters, and for advocacy and research.

TL;DR: This scientific statement was written to review the current literature on the noninvasive assessment of atherosclerosis in children and adolescents, make recommendations for the standardization of these tools for research, and stimulate further research with a goal of developing valid and reliable techniques with normative data for nonin invasive clinical evaluation of atheosclerosis in Pediatrics.

TL;DR: Ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) has been found to be superior to clinic BP (CBP) monitoring in predicting cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in children and adolescents as mentioned in this paper, and is gaining acceptance as a useful modality for evaluation of BP levels in both hypertension research and in the clinic setting.

TL;DR: New evidence is examined on the association of lipid abnormalities with early atherosclerosis, challenges with previous guidelines, and results of clinical trials with statin therapy in children and adolescents with familial hypercholesterolemia or severe hypercholesterololemia are highlighted.
