DCRM Recommendations for Lipid Testing and LDL-C Management

Author(s):

Key Takeaways

Pediatric lipid screening is vital for early dyslipidemia detection, reducing future cardiovascular disease risk.
Guidelines suggest universal screening at ages 9-11 and 17-21, with selective screening for at-risk children.
Implementation is inconsistent due to barriers like lack of awareness and time constraints in clinical settings.
Strategies to enhance uptake include routine integration, electronic health record reminders, and education for providers and families.
