TLDR
The increasing prevalence of obesity and its accompanying cardiometabolic risk associated with this dyslipidemia that makes the article by Burns et al in this issue of The Journal so timely contribute to the understanding of why dyslipidsemia with LDL-C levels below the traditional cutoff for risk is still an LDL problem.

Cardiovascular Risk Reduction in High-Risk Pediatric Patients: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association.

TL;DR: This scientific statement presents considerations for clinical management regarding the assessment and risk reduction of select pediatric populations at high risk for premature cardiovascular disease, including acquired arteriosclerosis or atherosclerosis.

Triglycerides-to-HDL ratio as a new marker of endothelial dysfunction in obese prepubertal children

TL;DR: This study confirms the reliability of the TG:HDL-C ratio as a useful marker of cardiovascular risk and underline that the TG:[HDL]C ratio is directly related with early signs of vascular damage already present in prepubertal children.

Lipoprotein particle number and size predict vascular structure and function better than traditional lipids in adolescents and young adults

TL;DR: Lipoprotein particle number and size are more strongly related to vascular structure and function than traditional lipid values, and NMR lipid measures may be a better indicator of risk for target organ damage thantraditional lipid measures in adolescents and young adults.

Hypertriglyceridemia in Obese Children and Adolescents.

TL;DR: Results from genetic studies suggest that TG and TG-rich lipoproteins and, more specifically, remnant cholesterol are in the causal pathway of cardiovascular disease, but simultaneous measurement of all remnants has not yet been established, and plasma TG level can be used as a useful marker of remnant cholesterol.

Subendothelial Lipoprotein Retention as the Initiating Process in Atherosclerosis: Update and Therapeutic Implications

TL;DR: The finding that certain human populations of individuals who maintain lifelong low plasma levels of apolipoprotein B lipoproteins have an ≈90% decreased risk of coronary artery disease gives hope that further understanding of the pathogenesis of this leading killer could lead to its eradication.

Lifetime Risks of Cardiovascular Disease

TL;DR: Differences in risk-factor burden translate into marked differences in the lifetime risk of cardiovascular disease, and these differences are consistent across race and birth cohorts.
