Large long-term studies convincingly show that atherosclerotic changes begin in the childhood and correlation of these changes with the same risk factors as in adults individuals is possible. The recommendation issued by theAmerican Heart Association was adjusted in view of new knowledge for adults and children in the year 2002. This article specified the strategy for practical use of the guidelines in pediatric practice.

        Key words: atherosclerosis, childhood, prevention
