Mashup Score: 0Lipoprotein(a) and subclinical vascular disease progression in children with familial hypercholesterolaemia - 9 month(s) ago
Lipoprotein(a) is a cholesterol-rich particle, high concentrations of which are associated with a greater risk of atherosclerosis and occurrence of aortic valve calcification in the general population.1 This might also be the case for adults affected by familial hypercholesterolaemia,2 a disease in which autosomal dominant genetic defects cause elevated LDL-cholesterol.3–5

Mashup Score: 7
After 80 weeks of treatment, evolocumab was safe, well tolerated, and led to sustained reductions in LDL cholesterol in paediatric patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia. When lipid goals cannot be achieved with conventional treatments, evolocumab is an effective add-on therapy in paediatric patients.

Mashup Score: 4PCSK9 inhibition in children with familial hypercholesterolaemia - 1 year(s) ago
Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia is the most prevalent monogenic dyslipidaemia, affecting approximately 1 in 300 people worldwide.1 If left untreated, elevated LDL cholesterol concentrations in heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia are associated with a more than ten-fold increased risk of premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.1 For children and adolescents with…
