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.

Panelists discuss how the SPORT trial demonstrated the limited efficacy of dietary supplements compared with traditional lipid-lowering therapies in reducing LDL-C levels.

Supplements are often used by patients in replacement of LLT; however, data have shown that they are less effective in lowering LDL-C. Can you describe the SPORT trial and its findings?
