Current detection rates for this highly treatable condition are low. Early detection and management of FH can significantly reduce cardiac morbidity and mortality.

Real-World Efficacy of COVID-19 Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis with Tixagevimab/Cilgavimab in People with Multiple Sclerosis.

Vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus were authorized for use by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the United States and have proven effective for the prevention of morbidity and death from COVID-19. Certain immunosuppressant medications prevent the development of protective immunity following COVID-19 vaccination. In December 2021, the FDA issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) for a monoclonal-antibody combination of tixagevimab and cilgavimab, under the brand name Evusheld, for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) against COVID-19 for individuals with moderate-to-severe immune compromise.
