The Family Heart Foundation is a pioneering organization based in Pasadena, CA, dedicated to saving generations of families from heart disease. Through research, advocacy, and education, they aim to improve the identification and care of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and elevated lipoprotein a (Lp a), two inherited disorders that significantly increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. With a mission to empower families to navigate their own health, the Family Heart Foundation plays a critical role in driving change and raising awareness about these genetic risks.
With 1 in 250 adults and children worldwide affected by FH and 1 in 5 affected by high Lp a, the Family Heart Foundation is committed to creating a world where everyone is aware of these conditions. By partnering with specialists, conducting research, and providing support, they strive to prevent heart attacks and strokes caused by elevated Lp a and FH. Their efforts are focused on ensuring that individuals at risk receive timely detection and improved care, ultimately saving more families and hearts from heart disease.
