Familial Hypercholesterolemia Counselling

Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetic condition that leads to high cholesterol levels, increasing the risk of heart disease. Counseling for FH helps individuals and families understand the condition, its hereditary nature, and the importance of managing cholesterol through lifestyle changes and medications. It also provides information on genetic testing, potential health implications, and the benefits of early detection and intervention. The goal is to empower individuals to make informed health decisions and take proactive steps in reducing cardiovascular risk.
