"FH" stands for Familial Hypercholesterolemia, a genetic condition that causes a build-up of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (LDL-C) or “bad cholesterol” from birth. Because it is genetic, diet, exercise, and lifestyle are not able to manage it.
FH runs in families and can be highly controllable when caught early. It is a genetic condition responsible for the greatest loss of life. An estimated 1/250 people have FH, 90% of those are undiagnosed. If left untreated, FH can cause early heart attacks, strokes, and heart disease. Visit Thefhfoundation.org for more information.
