Early diagnosis and treatment is key! Children should be diagnosed as early as possible and initiate statin therapy for HeFH as young as 8 years of age. We can #prevent #heartdisease! #KnowFH #FHCantWait @TheFHFoundation @GeisingerRsrch @gemmemc

My mom had her first heart attack in 1964 at age 41, our neighbor didn’t believe her and said, “Women don’t have heart disease.” She had heart disease for 15 years, FH did it. It was bad, really bad. I have FH too. I’m 64, knock on wood, poo poo poo, and I’m fine. Glad I #KnowFH

A3: Keep your #cholesterol in the safe zone! If you have #heartdisease keep LDL-C below 70 mg/dL. If you don't have #heartdisease, keep your LDL-C below 100 mg/dL. There are many effective #treatments for #KnowFH! Visit @TheFHFoundation and @nationallipid to learn more!

Truly appreciate @ams9 and the @TheFHFoundation for continuing to draw attention to the impact of FH on Franco-American and French Canadian communities! @BatesCollege @PressHerald @sunjournal @UMFrancoProgram
FH is common impacting 1 in 250 people. However, in certain "founder populations," FH can impact as many as 1 in 70 people. Learn more about how the founder effect impacts Franco Americans and others. #KnowFH @reed_mszar Learn: https://t.co/OHeO3aYJCe
