Can noninvasive assessment detect early vascular changes and childhood precursors of adult cardiovascular disease in children and adolescents?
Noninvasive assessment tools can detect early vascular changes in children, highlighting the presence of cardiovascular disease precursors from a very early age and offering opportunities for early intervention.
