Finding and Treating Homozygous FH

New Hope and New Urgency for Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia We are now in a new era in managing and living with HoFH. Now more than ever, scientific advances offer new hope for the treatment of Homozygous FH (HoFH), the rare form of the otherwise common familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). However, Family Heart Foundation research from the CASCADE FH® Registry and our Family Heart National Database, demonstrate that HoFH diagnosis is often missed or delayed in the United States, resulting in very early and serious heart disease. This Rare Disease Day, join Dr. Linda Hemphill from Massachusetts General Hospital and Allison Jamison, Family Heart Foundation Board Member, to discuss the current state of diagnosis and care for HoFH. Learn more about the urgent need to implement childhood screening guidelines, and to recognize HoFH in adults, so that HoFH can be uncovered before significant disease has taken hold. Leave this conversation understanding all the treatment options for this rare and serious metabolic disorder.
