Cardiovascular diseases (not including COVID-19 infection) are still one of the most common causes of mortality and morbidity in our country and in developed countries. Today no one questions the intervention of all risk factors for atherosclerosis after a cardiovascular event, although unfortunately even in this case the recommended target values are often not achieved. However, the intervention of risk factors in primary prevention is often neglected. Atherosclerosis is a long-term process, developing since the childhood. It is a continuous process and the event itself is only the culmination of this process. Therefore, it is necessary to intervene in key risk factors early in life, and we have ample evidence that even early pharmacological intervention has a clear effect on slowing or stopping the process of atherosclerosis.
