When LDL Really Matters: Is it in Your Family? - FORD BREWER MD MPH

Episode Summary

50-60 people viewing this channel each day have FH (Familial Hypercholesterolemia). But only between 1 to 6 actually know it. FH is seen in 1 of every 200-250 people. That's far more than MS or Cystic Fibrosis, yet most of us have never heard of it. And FH is lethal. With the fact that it's so under-recognized, we need to raise awareness. This video covers the CASCADE study, a study of the patterns of recognition & treatment of FH in the US.
