This piece by my wife, @CMulliganWalsh, moves me every time I read it. Every time.

[Casey Mulligan Walsh @CMulliganWalsh]

As I’ve said for the past year, @splitlipthemag is the gift that keeps on giving. Talented, generous masthead and readers. And I don’t only say that because they published Still. Thank you so much for breathing new life into my favorite piece ever. You’re the best.

Such a well-done and important read by @llkirchner_

[Casey Mulligan Walsh @CMulliganWalsh]

Love love love when my writing life and advocate life intersect. Huge thank you to @DianeGotAuthor for allowing me space to spread the word about #familialhypercholesterolemia!

[Casey Mulligan Walsh @CMulliganWalsh]

And this, my friends, is one of the many reasons I love my husband. Merry Christmas one and all! ❤️😂🎄 https://t.co/PWGOEP5hrf

@LakotaMan1 Now that is Main Street America. I am so glad they all have their COVID masks on. Thanks Dr. Fauci for the guidance

A10: Undiagnosed FH reduces life expectancy by 16 years. Share this post to raise awareness of FH - most common genetic condition that causes high #cholesterol and early #heartdisease. #KnowFH

#familialhypercholesterolemia is as common as Type 1 Diabetes (1 in 250), 90% undiagnosed, and treatable. FH remains the #genetic disorder that kills the most people worldwide. Need I say more? #KnowFH #FHAwarenessDa

#knowfh me when I was approved for my psk9 inhibitors

[Casey Mulligan Walsh @CMulliganWalsh]

https://t.co/ViKtWvIcPd reveals how late diagnosis & insufficient treatment result in poorer outcomes for those with FH. It’s urgent that we #FindFH & #KnowFH to prevent needless #HeartDisease. #FHAwarenessMonth @TheFHFoundation

[Casey Mulligan Walsh @CMulliganWalsh]

Each first degree relative (parent, sibling, child) of someone with FH has a 50% chance of inheriting this #genetic disorder. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to stopping the progression of #HeartDisease. Another lifesaving reason to #KnowFH #FHAwarenessDay @TheFHFoundation

[Casey Mulligan Walsh @CMulliganWalsh]

A7. We who have FH shouldn’t have to fight insurance providers for access to lifesaving drugs or go without to pay for them. Appropriate treatment should be off the list of struggles faced by those with #familialhypercholesterolemia #FHAwareness Day @TheFHFoundation #KnowFH

[Michael D. Shapiro @DrMichaelShapir]

A6. It is important for families to know that FH will affect 50% of first degree relatives (parents, siblings, and children). Therefore, all first degree relatives should be evaluated for FH (cholesterol testing and sometimes genetic testing) #KnowFH #FHCantWait

[Dr. Martha Gulati ♥️🫀❤️‍🩹🇨🇦 @DrMarthaGulati]

A7: #KnowFH Despite all we KNOW about FH, it remains underdiagnosed, underrecognized and undertreated. Sad because we have so much we can do to save lives and reduce heart attacks now. THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE

We must be #FHAdvocates in public & at home. Honest conversations about those already affected & the need to prevent #CVD caused by #familialhypercholesterolemia are essential. #KnowFH #FamilyHealth #FHAwarenessDay@TheFHFoundation #cholesterol #HeartHealth @TheFHFoundation

[Casey Mulligan Walsh @CMulliganWalsh]

Grateful here that my granddaughter who began meds at 13 will likely have a normalized life trajectory re: CVD. Win! #KnowFH

[Casey Mulligan Walsh @CMulliganWalsh]

We are lucky to have options for FH management, including #statin & #PCSK9 drugs. Healthy lifestyle, close monitoring & focus on achieving LDL targets = longer healthier lives for those with #familialhypercholesterolemia #KnowFH #CVD #cholesterol #HeartHealth @TheFHFoundation

[Iftikhar J. Kullo @iftikhar_kullo]

A3 FH is common; 1 in 250 people have FH! FH is treatable! Suspect FH if LDL is >190, there is personal history of MI, family history of elevated LDL or MI #heartattack #KnowFH @nih_nhlbi

[Casey Mulligan Walsh @CMulliganWalsh]

Left untreated women w/FH have a 30% risk of having a #heartattack by age 60; men a 50% risk by age 50. Untreated people w/FH have 20 times the risk of developing early aggressive heart disease. #KnowFH #HeartHealth #FHAwarenessDay #FHAdvocates @TheFHFoundation

[Casey Mulligan Walsh @CMulliganWalsh]

Also @kwalsh527 and I want everyone to know FH can be treated, but accurate diagnosis is job one. Thanks to @TheFHFoundation we are making progress, but there’s so much more to be done . #FHAdvocates #KnowFH #FindFH #FHAwarenessDay #HeartDisease
