@TheFHFoundation There is great hope that new therapies in late stage clinical trials will be HIGHLY affective in reducing Lp(a) AND the risk of heart disease. If you have high Lp(a) and heart disease there may be a clinical trial for you! #KnowLpa

Do you know your Lp(a) level? In honor of Lp(a) Awareness Day on March 24, we are offering Lp(a) and LDL tests while supplies last! Get yours now:

A3: Lowering LDL-C has a big impact on reducing cardiovascular disease risk over the life course. For every 40 mg/dL reduction in LDL that is maintained for about 5 years, a person’s risk of heart disease or events falls by 20% #KnowFH youtu.be/co76EejedSY

The LEAD Pediatric Cholesterol Screening group is bringing general pediatricians and pediatric cardiologists together TODAY to help try to answer this very question. The AAP guidelines are clear and not new… let’s make it easy to follow them. #knowFH

Well there it is! #knowFH

When Dr. Sperling, new CMO of Family Heart Foundation called Katherine Wilemon his “hero” all I could think was… same! Thank you for carrying the torch for patient with FH and high Lp(a) with such grace and strength. If you keep shining your light so brightly we all may find our way home ❤️
