Article Synopsis
- Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an underdiagnosed genetic condition that increases the risk of early cardiovascular issues, highlighting the need for early interventions in children.
- An interventional study with 10 patients showed that those without FH achieved significant lipid level improvements through lifestyle changes alone, while genetically confirmed FH patients did not see similar benefits without medication.
- The study emphasizes the critical role of genetic testing for FH in guiding treatment decisions, as it may not be routinely included in current screening practices.
