Familial Hypercholesterolemia in Pediatric Patients With Type 1 Diabetes: Double Challenge for Diagnosis and Treatment
The prevalence of probable FH was high (1 in 215 children) in pediatric T1D. We assume that the majority are affected by genetic FH, modified by HbA1c and BMI. Despite the very high risk for premature atherosclerosis in patients with FH and T1D, only one-third receive LLT.
