Worldwide experience of homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia: retrospective cohort study

Tycho R. Tromp et al.

Summary: Patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia (HoFH) globally face issues of late diagnosis, under-treatment, and high risk of premature ASCVD. The use of multiple lipid-lowering therapy regimens is associated with lower LDL cholesterol levels and better outcomes. Significant global disparities exist in treatment regimens, control of LDL cholesterol levels, and cardiovascular event-free survival.

Universal screening for familial hypercholesterolemia in 2 populations

Ursa Sustar et al.

Summary: This study assessed the performance of two different screening programs for diagnosing familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) in children and found that the opt-out screening strategy was more advantageous than the opt-in strategy, as it could effectively detect FH patients and their family members.

Paediatric familial hypercholesterolaemia screening in Europe: public policy background and recommendations

Samuel S. Gidding et al.

Summary: Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is often overlooked and undertreated in Europe, resulting in increased risk of premature heart disease. Early treatment is effective in preventing heart disease and cost-effective. The European Commission Public Health Best Practice Portal recognizes FH screening as an effective strategy. Model programs in Europe employ cascade screening, universal screening, opportunistic screening, or a combination of these approaches to identify young individuals with FH. Recommendations to improve FH identification emphasize the need for screening programs in every country, adapted to fit the healthcare system, with financial support from governments and further research for optimization.

Access to Essential Cardiovascular Medicines in Pakistan: A National Survey on the Availability, Price, and Affordability, Using WHO/HAI Methodology

Amna Saeed et al.

Summary: This national survey in Pakistan revealed low availability of cardiovascular disease medicines in both public and private sectors, with high prices that pose a significant burden on the lowest paid government workers. Compared to other low and middle income countries, the affordability of standard cardiovascular drug treatment in Pakistan was found to be low.

Antonio J. Vallejo-Vaz et al.

Summary: This study characterized the adult population with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia using data from the FHSC global registry, highlighting the challenges in prevention and management of the condition. Early detection and greater use of combination therapies are needed to reduce the global burden of familial hypercholesterolaemia.
