Summary
Investigators from Children's Hospitals of Aschaffenburg-Alzenau, Germany, and Essen University, Germany reported on long-term cardiovascular risks of ketogenic diet (KD) treatment for Glut1 Deficiency syndrome (GLUT1-DS). Ten patients were followed for 10 years as part of a prospective study with monitoring of body mass index, cholesterol, and triglycerides at baseline, 6 months, 2 years, 5 years, and 10 years following initiation of the KD. The cardiovascular risk was assessed by body mass index, carotid intima-media thickness, and blood pressure (using healthy reference population as a control). Results may be summarized as no significant differences in body mass index, cholesterol, or blood pressure after 10 years on the KD.
