Severe hypercholesterolemia
Familial hypercholesterolemia is an inherited disease characterized by the absence (homozygous) or markedly reduced (heterozygous) functioning LDL receptors in the liver.
Patient 1 - Baseline
Patient B - Baseline
Patient C - Baseline and after treatment
The above case is an example of one of our patients with heterozygous FH. Her baseline LDL-c was 388 mg/dL. Using a combination of rosuvastatin, ezetimibe and PCSK9 inhibitor, her LDL-c dropped from 388 to 74 mg/dL, a decrease of 314 mg/dL or an 81% reduction!
