Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is a rare inherited condition that causes dangerously high levels of LDL cholesterol from birth, leading to severe cardiovascular complications and early mortality. Despite affecting approximately 1 in 300,000 people worldwide, fewer than 5% of individuals with HoFH receive an accurate and timely diagnosis. Early screening and intervention can be life-saving. Let's push for greater awareness, better screening protocols, and stronger policies to protect those living with HoFH from preventable heart disease.

Today is #PulmonaryHypertensionDay. Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a rare, life-threatening disease where blood vessels in the lungs are narrowed, blocked or destroyed.This puts pressure on the right side of the heart and causes it to work extra hard. Symptoms like shortness of breath, fatigue, chest pain, and fainting can be subtle at first and are often mistaken for other conditions. That’s why early diagnosis and increased awareness are critical.Let’s stand with the PH community today — spread awareness and push for early detection with the hashtag #WorldPHDay2025 🫀

It's #WorldChagasDiseaseDay.More than 7 million people are estimated to be infected with Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease. It can be transmitted by the triatomine bug, but also through contaminated food, blood transfusions, or from mother to child.Chagas disease is curable, but only if caught early. Without timely diagnosis and treatment, it can lead to severe and life-threatening heart complications.Help us spread the word and support the fight against #ChagasDisease today. With early detection and treatment, we can save lives ❤️

Lipoprotein(a) or Lp(a) is a particle that carries cholesterol in the blood.High Lp(a) = higher heart disease risk. These levels are inherited, not associated with diet or exercise. The only way to #KnowLpa levels? Talk to your doctor and get tested ❤️
