Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is a rare inherited condition that causes dangerously high levels of LDL cholesterol from birth, leading to severe cardiovascular complications and early mortality. Despite affecting approximately 1 in 300,000 people worldwide, fewer than 5% of individuals with HoFH receive an accurate and timely diagnosis. Early screening and intervention can be life-saving. Let's push for greater awareness, better screening protocols, and stronger policies to protect those living with HoFH from preventable heart disease.
