“Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH): Rethinking Detection and Long-Term Management — Insights from EAS 2025
Familial hypercholesterolemia remains substantially underdiagnosed worldwide, despite being a major driver of premature atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The gap between guideline recommendations and real-world implementation is still significant.
In this expert interview from EAS 2025, Prof. Gerald Watts discusses the evolving clinical strategy for FH management — from early identification and cascade screening to long-term LDL-C control and residual risk reduction.
Key clinical takeaways:
- Systematic early detection is critical
- Cascade screening should be integrated into routine practice
- Aggressive and sustained LDL-C lowering is essential
- Residual cardiovascular risk persists even after LDL-C reduction
FH is not a rare condition — it is a common, lifelong, high-risk state that requires proactive and structured management.
Read the Full Interview.
For cardiologists, lipidologists, endocrinologists, internists, and preventive cardiology specialists focused on high-risk patient care and long-term ASCVD prevention.
How do you currently implement cascade screening and long-term LDL-C control in FH patients?”
