Familial Hypercholesterolaemia

Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is an inherited condition which can lead to extremely high cholesterol levels.  Without treatment, FH can lead to heart disease at a very young age. But once it has been diagnosed, it can be treated with diet, lifestyle and medications.
