Early diagnosis and treatment is key! Children should be diagnosed as early as possible and initiate statin therapy for HeFH as young as 8 years of age. We can #prevent #heartdisease! #KnowFH #FHCantWait @TheFHFoundation @GeisingerRsrch @gemmemc

My mom had her first heart attack in 1964 at age 41, our neighbor didn’t believe her and said, “Women don’t have heart disease.” She had heart disease for 15 years, FH did it. It was bad, really bad. I have FH too. I’m 64, knock on wood, poo poo poo, and I’m fine. Glad I #KnowFH

A1: It’s literally a matter of life & death. With high LDL-C & family history of heart disease, you are at risk and you should talk to your doctor. Get your LDL checked and talk to your family! My dad's 1st heart attack was at 28 - mine at 35. #KnowFH #HoFH

[Amy Curry Sturm @AmyCurrySturm]

A3: Keep your #cholesterol in the safe zone! If you have #heartdisease keep LDL-C below 70 mg/dL. If you don't have #heartdisease, keep your LDL-C below 100 mg/dL. There are many effective #treatments for #KnowFH! Visit @TheFHFoundation and @nationallipid to learn more!

@Disneyland If I can't get through on your phone line (with my first calls at 7 and 8 am) and can't update my tickets online that expired during COVID, how can I visit your park? The ticket says to go to a ticket window on site but I can't go without a reservation. Catch22.

Automated screening approaches to identify individuals with FH including the FH Foundation's FIND FH model were acceptable, appropriate and feasible according to new #implementationscience research.
