About the CPD course
This on-demand video webcast features Dr Mary McGowan and patient advocate Lisa Khalafi describing the impact of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and value of implementing universal paediatric lipid screening. FH is a common genetic disorder leading to elevated low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) from birth. Globally out of 220 children; approximately 1 child has FH; and therefore an increased risk of early cardiovascular disease; or even early death. One in ten premature myocardial infarctions is caused by FH. Yet 90% of the 1.3 million Americans with FH are unaware of their condition; leading to premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
