Abstract in brief

  • Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is a rare, treatment-resistant genetic disorder that causes early cardiovascular disease, and current data show it is often underdiagnosed and undertreated in the U.S.
  • The study analyzed data from 67 patients with diagnosed HoFH, finding that many patients still have high LDL cholesterol levels despite treatment, and only a small portion achieve goal levels.
  • Using the Family Heart Database, researchers estimated that over 270 individuals have lipid profiles similar to HoFH patients, highlighting the need for earlier screening and more aggressive management.

@TheFHFoundation analysis shows that HCPs often don’t follow the @AmerAcadPeds and NIH recs for ped lipid screening. If HoFH children are not diagnosed, they become adults with irreversible heart damage. They deserve better. #KnowFH #KnowHoFH https://t.co/spWZmqo8IO
