Q1. Heart disease has become the number one killer of men and woman around the world. Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is the # 1 genetic cause. How would you know if FH was the cause of
#heartdisease
in their family? Are there signs and symptoms?

@WHO
called upon governments to make familial hypercholesterolemia a
#publichealth
priority. Not much has changed. Until now. Our vision is to partner with the global FH community to
#advocate
for FH and ensure it is a priority.

Does early
#heartdisease
or
#stroke
run in your family? It could be elevated Lipoprotein(a). 1 in 5 people have elevated Lp(a), but less than 1% have been screened! Ask your doctor and learn more so you can advocate for this simple blood test.
