Look closely. Mona Lisa has a white bump near the inner canthus of the eye. This is a xanthalasma. It is indicative of familial hypercholestormia. 1 in 250 have FH, but less than 70% have been diagnosed. Early and aggressive cardiovascular disease is the result. Family Heart Foundation

Thank you Hilly Paige Jr you are a true advocate of 🩷Family Heart Foundation mission. Everyone should be empowered to understand their #genetic risk of cardiovascular disease. This is particularly true with levels of Lpa in those of African ancestry being higher in general.

This is one of the largest analyses of US individuals with Lp(a) levels (n=393K), using real-world data from the Family Heart Database. High Lp(a) levels were consistently associated with an increased risk of CVD events. #AHA24 familyheart.org/lpa-cvd-risk-2…
