Only 10% of those people are diagnosed. FH, when left undiagnosed and untreated, causes early heart disease. It is passed down through generations and begins at birth. People with FH have LDL or \u201cbad\u201d cholesterol levels that are 2 \u2013 5 times higher than someone who is unaffected.<\/p>\n<p><strong>FH is found in 1 in 250 people of every race and ethnicity. Now is the time to act and save lives.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thefhfoundation.org\/\">The FH Foundation<\/a>, a patient-centered research and advocacy organization dedicated to raising awareness of FH, founded on September 24<sup>th<\/sup> as FH Awareness Day in 2012. Since then, it has been recognized by multiple state proclamations and cardiovascular organizations around the world as a day to promote public awareness and understanding of FH. In 2018, FH Awareness Day reached 42 million people around the world. The medical and public communities are encouraged to seek change in how FH is detected and managed. An essential component of this effort is educating providers, patients and the public about the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to help individuals with FH live long, healthy lives.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-634594 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hauteliving.com\/hautebeauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/FH-Awareness.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hauteliving.com\/hautebeauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/FH-Awareness.jpg 600w, https:\/\/hauteliving.com\/hautebeauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/FH-Awareness-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hauteliving.com\/hautebeauty\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/FH-Awareness-357x238.jpg 357w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><span class=\"rtp-photo-credit\">Photo Credit: FH Foundation<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This year, the FH Foundation is hosting an inaugural <a href=\"https:\/\/give.thefhfoundation.org\/event\/fh-awareness-day-reception-and-panel-discussion\/e235265\">FH Awareness Day Reception &amp; Panel Discussion<\/a> in Miami highlighting Global FH Awareness Day.
