Very excited to see this data! @CiccaroneCenter @SethShayMartin published this on a smaller scale and it's great to see it on a larger scale.

New in @JAHA_AHA:

For familial hypercholesterolemia, two potential screening strategies to find high-risk individuals:
* clinical criteria
* genetic testing

We estimate combining both strategies

would identify the >1M U.S adults with this condition

This still blows my mind!

[My Gene Counsel @MyGeneCounsel]

Did you know Medicare won't cover genetic testing until AFTER someone develops cancer? Plus, if someone does have testing and surveillance or prophylactic surgery are recommended, these services aren't covered unless there are symptoms of disease. We must take action. 1/4 #Thread

@TheFHFoundation So excited for this resource!

[Family Heart Foundation @FamilyHeartFdn]

Dr. Mary McGown, @TheFHFoundation invites everyone to visit the Lp(a) website to learn more and share to raise awareness of this important risk factor for cardiovascular disease. #FHSummit

[Emily Brown @EE_Brown42]

It’s always powerful to hear patient stories. #NLASessions shared a video from @TheFHFoundation where a patient shared genetic testing gave her confidence to take statins and gave her tools to share the information with family members. This is so encouraging to hear! #GCchat

[Emily Brown @EE_Brown42]

LOVE this info sheet with contact numbers for the genetic counseling clinics that was created for #GCADatHopkins.

[Hopkins Med News @HopkinsMedNews]

A: If you’d like input on whether genetic counseling could be helpful to you, we suggest finding a GC near you (https://t.co/Hq34pCyLYr) & call our clinics to ask if an appointment is appropriate. #GCADatHopkins 3/3
