Prevention Familial hypercholesterolemia Alternative Names: Type II hyperlipoproteinemia; Hypercholesterolemic xanthomatosis; Low density lipoprotein receptor mutation Treatment: The goal of treatment is to reduce the risk of atherosclerotic heart disease and heart attack. The first step is to change what you eat. This is tried for several months before drug therapy is added. Diet changes include reducing total fat intake to less than 30% of the total calories consumed. Saturated fat intake is reduced by decreasing the amounts of beef, pork, and lamb; substituting low-fat dairy products; and eliminating coconut and palm oil. Cholesterol intake is reduced by eliminating egg yolks, organ meats and sources of animal-derived saturated fat. Further reductions in the percentage of fat in the diet may be recommended after the initial trial period. Dietary counseling is often recommended to assist people with these adjustments to their eating habits.

Support Organizations Familial hypercholesterolemia A person with familial hypercholesterolemia does not have enough of the cells that remove low-density lipoprotein (LDL, or "bad") cholesterol from the blood. The severity of this disorder depends on whether the person has inherited one or two copies of the faulty gene that causes it. About 1 in 500 people inherit one copy of the faulty gene that causes this disorder. Their bodies produce fewer of the cells that remove LDL cholesterol. This leads to LDL cholesterol levels that can be twice as high as normal. Many people with this disorder develop coronary artery disease in middle age. About 1 in 1 million people inherit two copies of the faulty gene that causes this disorder. Their bodies produce almost none of the cells that remove LDL cholesterol. This leads to LDL cholesterol levels 2 to 4 times higher than normal. These people often develop atherosclerosis during childhood.

Advanced Search Tips from Other Journals Previous Next Using Statins in Children with Familial Hypercholesterolemia Children with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (heFH) are at high risk for developing coronary heart disease. Currently the U.S. National Cholesterol Education Program recommends drug therapy (bile acid sequestrants) in children older than 10 years who have a low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol level that remains elevated after dietary therapy. De Jongh and associates conducted an international, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 173 patients to evaluate the efficacy of simvastatin in lowering LDL levels in a large cohort of boys and girls with heFH. The goal of the study was to investigate the safety and tolerability of simvastatin and its influence on growth and pubertal development. Girls and boys from 10 to 17 years of age who had LDL levels ranging from 158 to 398 mg per dL (4.1 to 10.3 mmol per L) and one parent with a confirmed diagnosis of heFH were included in the study. Persons with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia and secondary hyperlipidemia were excluded. All subjects had diet therapy and placebo for four weeks before being randomized to treatment with placebo or simvastatin (starting with a daily dosage of 10 mg, which was increased to 20 mg and then to 40 mg). Cholesterol panels, liver function tests, adrenal/gonadal/pituitary hormones, Tanner stages, and menstrual cycles were assessed at regular intervals.

Coronary artery blockage Familial hypercholesterolemia Definition: A dominantly inherited genetic condition that results in markedly elevated LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol levels beginning at birth, and resulting in heart attacks at an early age. Alternative Names: Type II hyperlipoproteinemia; Hypercholesterolemic xanthomatosis; Low density lipoprotein receptor mutation Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Affected people have consistently high levels of low-density lipoprotein, which leads to premature atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries. Typically in affected men, heart attacks occur in their 40s to 50s, and 85% of men with this disorder have experienced a heart attack by age 60. The incidence of heart attacks in women with this disorder is also increased, but delayed 10 years later than in men. Individuals from families with a strong history of early heart attacks should be evaluated with a lipid screen. Proper diet, exercise, and the use of newer drugs can bring lipids down to safer levels.
