Global Call to Action on FH published on JAMA Cardiology
The International Atherosclerosis Society together with the FH Foundation and the World Heart Federation announced today the publication of a Global Call to Action on familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a vastly under-recognized and poorly managed public health concern, in JAMA Cardiology. Authored by a global panel of scientific experts, advocacy leaders, public health officials, advocacy leaders and individuals with FH from 40 countries, the report notes glaring gaps in screening and guideline-based care for FH, the most common cause of early and aggressive heart disease.

The success of the concrete and actionable recommendations we issue today will depend on the support from local and national societies, both scientific and civil, and from governments: this is why we are jointly addressing them as a global community now.
