- W2893978684 abstract "Background and aims Although familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is one of the most common genetic disorders, it remains largely underdiagnosed and undertreated. The Hellenic Atherosclerosis Society has established the Hellenic Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HELLAS-FH) Registry, part of the Familial Hypercholesterolemia Studies Collaboration (FHSC), to evaluate the characteristics and management of patients with FH in Greece. Methods Patients with diagnosed FH were recruited by a network of sites throughout Greece. The prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, as well as management of FH, was recorded. Results This interim analysis included 1093 patients (556 male; 950 adults). The median age of FH diagnosis was 42.2 years (interquartile range 27.2–53.0). A family history of CVD was present in 47.8%, while 21.1% of patients had a personal history of CVD. At diagnosis, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) was 241 ± 76 mg/dL in adults and 229 ± 57 mg/dL in children. Overall, 63.1% of the patients were receiving hypolipidemic drug treatment, mainly statins, at inclusion in the registry. Mean LDL-C of patients receiving drug treatment was 154 ± 76 mg/dL in adults and 136 ± 47 mg/dL in children. The majority of treated patients (87.9%) did not achieve LDL-C targets. Conclusions FH in Greece is characterized by a significant delay in diagnosis and a high prevalence of both family and personal history of established CVD. The vast majority of FH patients do not achieve LDL-C targets. Improved awareness and management of FH are definitely needed." @default.
