Familial hypercholesterolemia is a common, inherited disorder of cholesterol metabolism that leads to early cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It is underdiagnosed and undertreated. Statins, ezetimibe, bile acid sequestrants, niacin, lomitapide, mipomersen, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) apheresis are treatments that can lower LDL cholesterol levels. Early treatment can lead to substantial reduction of cardiovascular events and death in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia. It is important to increase awareness of this disorder in physicians and patients to reduce the burden of this disorder.
家族性高胆固醇血症是一种常见的遗传性胆固醇代谢紊乱疾病,可导致早期心血管疾病的发病和死亡。该病目前诊断不足且治疗不充分。他汀类药物、依折麦布、胆汁酸螯合剂、烟酸、洛美他派、米泊美生和低密度脂蛋白(LDL)分离术是能够降低LDL胆固醇水平的治疗方法。早期治疗可显著降低家族性高胆固醇血症患者的心血管事件和死亡风险。提高医生和患者对该疾病的认识对于减轻这种疾病的负担至关重要。
