Prevalence of Dyslipidemia in Children with Congenital Heart Disease

Abstract: Dyslipidemia is one of the main risk factors associated with cardiovascular diseases. Few data on the impacts of congenital heart diseases are available with regard to the prevalence of dyslipidemia in children. Our study evaluated the lipid profile in children with congenital heart disease at a referral center. From January 2011 to July 2012, 52 pediatric patients had their lipid, metabolic and clinical profiles traced. The mean age was 10.4 ± 2.8 years and male/female rate of 1.38:1. Our population had 53.8%… Show more

“…Ghaderian et al (4) study agrees with our results where they reported that serum cholesterol, LDL, and TG concentrations were significantly higher in the patients' group than in the control group (p value < 0.05), but disagrees with our study in HDL that was higher in patients' group than in control group. In contrast to our study, Fuenmayor et al (13) study showed that dyslipidemia in children with congenital heart diseases revealed rates similar to those found in normal children suggesting that the presence of congenital heart disease does not stand as a risk factor for elevation of LDL.…”

“…CVD is the major cause of morbimortality, both in developed and developing countries, being responsible for 31.8% of the causes of death in adults in Brazil (8) . There are several risk factors associated with the development of cardiovascular diseases, such as smoking, obesity and dyslipidaemia (1) .…”
