Key result
Congenital heart disease was associated with a 13.4% (95% CI 6.6-25.2%) prevalence of dyslipidemia, suggesting the condition does not lead to a higher risk of dyslipidemia.
Cross-Sectional (n=52)
No
Children with congenital heart disease do not have a higher risk of dyslipidemia, supporting the use of standard pediatric screening guidelines in this population.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
No increased dyslipidemia risk seen in congenital heart disease; leaves open confirmation in larger prospective cohorts.
Fuenmayor et al. (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Congenital heart disease (n=52). Congenital heart disease was evaluated on Dyslipidemia (LDL levels ≥ 130 mg/dL) (95% CI 6.6-25.2). Congenital heart disease was associated with a 13.4% (95% CI 6.6-25.2%) prevalence of dyslipidemia, suggesting the condition does not lead to a higher risk of dyslipidemia.
