"Without universal childhood cholesterol screening, most individuals with HeFH and many with HoFH are not diagnosed until the development of symptomatic ASCVD and, even then, the diagnosis may be overlooked. Indeed, the Family Heart Foundation's CASCADE FH Registry found the average age of HeFH diagnosis in the US is 50 ± 18 years and the oldest age of genetically confirmed HoFH was 37 years in the setting of an acute cardiac event." #KnowFH #PediatricScreening https://lnkd.in/ghWQFdGn
