Early Detection of Familial Hypercholesterolemia in Children
Heterozigous FH is an underdiagnosed disease in the paediatric population. Its early detection, would allow us to initiate lifestyle therapeutical changes and early pharmacological therapy if necessary. This is a key fact to reduce atherosclerosis progression and cardiovascular risk in adulthood. Moreover, it will allow, detecting the first and second …

Cardiac Biomarkers in Preeclampsia: Prediction of Disease and the Risk of Future Cardiovascular Events in Survivors
SUMMARY Background: Improvements in the management and prevention of obstetric haemorrhage and sepsis, in addition to magnesium sulphate for preeclampsia have led to significant reduction in global maternal mortality rates; thus leaving increasing number of survivors of preeclampsia than previously. Preeclampsia is associated with inflammatory changes that alter vascular integrity …
