Purpose Of Review: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal semi-dominant condition, characterized by excessive circulating low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from birth that substantially accelerates the onset and progression of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), classically coronary artery disease (CAD). Elevated plasma LDL-C integrated over time is unequivocally the major determinant of ASCVD in heterozygous FH (HeFH); however, the wide variation in incidence and progression of ASCVD suggests a role for a wide spectrum of risk modifiers. We reviewed recent evidence describing the features of an ASCVD-free entity referred to as resilient FH among patients with HeFH.
