I do think it’s a good idea for children to be screened for heart disease. Specifically, those that have heart disease in their family history or are overweight and carry a higher risk than other children. With our high fat and sugar diets today I think it is increasingly important. “Researchers at Queen Mary University of London carried out cholesterol and genetic test on 10,000 children while they were undergoing routine vaccinations between one and two years old. They found almost double the numbers of children had the condition and they estimate that screening could prevent around 600 heart attacks a year in the under 40s if it was rolled out across the country.” (Knapton,2016) If detected at an early age, families can start medications, if needed, and/or adopt a healthier lifestyle with weight management and a healthier diet. Heart disease is really serious and if you have the ability to find out if your children have it or might get it in the future, then I believe it should be done. “Recent studies shows that the seeds of heart disease are sown during childhood. Fatty streaks and artery-clogging plaque build up during childhood and adolescence — and the more heart-disease risk factors a child has, the faster this fat and plaque builds up in the arteries.” (DeNoon, 2008).

In the past, children’s well-being was always on the forefront of modern medicine through vaccination discovery and improvement. Today, a common ailment of American children is hypercholesterolemia, or high cholesterol. (Garcia and Moody, 1990) Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Diets high in saturated and trans fats, as well as heredity and obesity contribute to high cholesterol. (Gavin, n.d.) Children 2-years-old are tested only if a parent or close relative has a significant medical history. All children are recommended to have their cholesterol checked between ages 9-11 and again between ages 17-21. (Gavin, n.d.)
I do believe that children should undergo routine screening for heart disease. There is a strong positive correlation between cholesterol levels and atherosclerotic changes in the aorta and coronary arteries. (Garcia and Moody, 1990) These findings provide evidence consistent with the fact that atherosclerosis begins in childhood. (Garcia and Moody, 1990) Lowering cholesterol levels reduces the risk of heart attacks caused by coronary heart disease, therefore, routine screening throughout childhood could eliminate risk and reinforce health-conscious behaviors leading into adulthood rather than introducing these behaviors during adulthood.
