Reducing lifetime risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the principle that underlies CVD prevention strategies, including those that begin in childhood.1 The big five heart disease and stroke factors (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking or secondhand smoke, an unhealthy diet and physical inactivity) are rooted in childhood.2
Universal cholesterol screenings of children from ages 9-11, not only enables physicians to work with their patients and the child's caregiver to address any modifiable risk factors, but it also screens for the presence of familial hypercholesterolemia. Only 4-5% of children between 9-11 years of age are being screened.3
The NIH guidelines offer the most comprehensive and up-to-date approach to pediatric lipid screening, helping clinicians improve outcomes

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a common genetic disorder leading to elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from birth.4 Globally 1 out of 220 children, approximately one child has FH, and therefore an increased risk to suffer from early cardiovascular disease, or even early death.5
Cholestech LDX is not for use in children under the age of 2 years or patients with hyperbilirubinemia (elevated bilirubin levels).
