Abstract
Familial hypercholesterolemia Is the most common genetic disease in the world. It is characterized by an increase in the level of total cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins since childhood. It is desired to diagnose and start treatment in childhood prior to development of complications, such as aortic stenosis, atherosclerotic changes in the artery walls. Statins are recommended as the first-line medications. However, due to limited experience, the clinicians have different opinions regarding the age of initiation of hypolipidemic therapy. The article is aimed to critically examine the data on the use of statins in children with familial hypercholesterolemia, their effectiveness and safety available in the world literature.
