Familial Hypercholesterolemia Summit 2013
Awareness to Action

Dear FH Summit Participant,

 

We want to thank you for being an integral part of the first-ever global Familial Hypercholesterolemia Summit. Each of you were invited because of your ability to greatly impact how FH is diagnosed and treated here in the United States and across the world.   

 

We at the FH Foundation hope that this exciting event will serve as a catalyst for the work that lies ahead in addressing the current gaps in care for those living with familial hypercholesterolemia. We have begun drafting the white paper that will be published from this incredible gathering of thought leaders. We will be circulating this document early next year.

 

For those of you in the United States, we hope you will encourage your patients to join the CASCADE FH Registry at www.theFHfoundation.org/registry.

 

For further information on the CASCADE FH Registry, please click here to download a brief excerpt of Dr. Josh Knowles' slides for your reference.

 

This is truly an exciting time for those committed to the management of FH and for those of us living with FH. Thank you again for your invaluable expertise and support.

 

Sincerely,
