While homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is associated with development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in childhood, early recognition and treatment of this inherited disease can improve outcomes for patients. In this animated activity provided by PeerView in collaboration with the Family Heart Foundation, a cardiologist describes the impact of this rare disease on patients and their families, presents strategies for recognizing signs and symptoms of HoFH, and reviews guidelines for genetic screening and referral of patients and their families to appropriate experts and resources for support. Additionally, two patients share their experiences of living with HoFH. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Describe the consequences of undiagnosed and untreated HoFH from the patient’s perspective; Distinguish hallmark signs, symptoms, and family history differentiating HoFH from other disorders; and Employ current guidelines and support resources to direct patients with suspected HoFH to appropriately qualified care providers.
