Pediatric lipidology is a relatively new field of pediatrics. Premature cardiovascular diseases account for 30% of mortality in the United States. There is a heightened awareness regarding early recognition, prevention and management of childhood dyslipidemia.

Rational and optimal medical practice approaches are outlined throughout the text. Current clinical guidelines for treatment of genetic and acquired pediatric dyslipidemias are reviewed with an emphasis on new data and novel therapeutic options.
