It’s true that there is only one treatment currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and that’s lipoprotein apheresis therapy. But right now, there are three medications in clinical trials which all reduce Lp(a) levels. And even though there are currently no medicines, someone with high Lp(a) can work hard to reduce all their other risk factors.
Knowing that the Lp(a) community was being overlooked, the Family Heart Foundation simply could not limit our focus any longer to just FH ,
That's why the FH Foundation is now the Family Heart Foundation.
The Family Heart Foundation strives to save generations of families from heart disease through timely identification and improved care of FH and Lp(a). Through research, advocacy, and education the Foundation plays a critical role in driving change and empowering families to navigate their health.
Whether you have FH, elevated Lp(a), or both, join the Family Heart Foundation in educating e-health care providers and the public on family heart disease.
