More than 100 VIPS gathered to acknowledge Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) day on September 24th<\/sup> at the St. Regis Bal Harbour Resort for a panel discussion co-hosted together with April Irene Donelson and the FH Foundation<\/a> \u2013 with honor given Ryan Patrick Carrigan, who passed away from undiagnosed FH, in June 2018. FH is the most common cause of early heart attacks and premature coronary heart disease, impacting people of every race and ethnicity. More than 34 million people worldwide and 1.3 million in the United States have FH, and yet 90% remain undiagnosed.<\/p>\n

Christine Del Portillo (FL Senator Rick Scott\u2019s Office \u2013 South Florida District Director) presented a proclamation on behalf of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis declaring Sept. 24th<\/sup> FH Day, in addition to the letter prepared by FL Senator Rick Scott commemorating the day, found in the program handbooks.<\/p>\n

In addition, September 24th<\/sup> 2019 was declared a Day of Remembrance of Ryan Patrick Carrigan with a proclamation by Carlos A. Gimenez, Miami-Dade County Mayor, Chairwoman Audrey M. Edmonson and Members of the Board of County Commissioners, including County Commissioner Esteban Bovo, Jr. and County Commissioner Sally A. Heyman on behalf of Miami-Dade County.<\/p>\n

Alessa Torres, (Office of Miami-Dade County Commissioner Esteban Bovo) presented both the proclamation from the Miami-Dade County for FH Awareness Day and also the Day of Remembrance of Ryan Patrick Carrigan. Rey Lester, on behalf of Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, also addressed attendees.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople with familial hypercholesterolemia are in jeopardy of heart attacks and strokes early in life,\u201d said Katherine Wilemon, founder and CEO of the FH Foundation. \u00a0\u201cFH is passed down through families, leaving entire generations at increased risk. By increasing awareness of FH, more people will receive the early diagnosis and treatment necessary to prevent early death.\u201d<\/p>\n

FH is a genetic disorder<\/a> characterized by high cholesterol levels<\/a>, specifically very high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL, \"bad cholesterol\"), in the blood and causing early cardiovascular disease. It is the most common, life-threatening genetic condition in the world, affecting 1\/250 \u2013 with just 10% diagnosed. It is 100% manageable. Those with FH are immune to controlling their high LDL cholesterol levels with diet and exercise, and require more advanced treatments. The condition runs in families, with a parent having FH \u2013 having a 50\/50 chance of passing it along to their child.<\/p>\n

Guests in attendance included Bravo\u2019s The Real Housewives of Miami Adriana De Moura, Fitness Celebrity Jennifer Nicole Lee, Miami Philanthropist Angela Birdman, Haute Media Group Co-Founder Seth Semilof, Claudine Smurfit, Radmilla Lolly, Nadia French, Lynn Levy, and Elizabeth Nickerson with the American Heart Association South Florida.<\/p>\n

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has designated FH as a Tier 1 priority for family screening. Each first degree relative of someone with FH has a 50% chance of inheriting the genetic disorder. If FH is found early in life, it can be managed, adding decades of life to those who receive appropriate care.<\/p>\n
