📢 Major step forward for cardiovascular prevention in Europe
FH Europe Foundation welcomes the publication of two landmark European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) consensus statements, presented at and released simultaneously.
🔬 The papers focus on:
* Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) in children and adolescents
* Lipid clinics worldwide – harmonisation, organisation, and funding
Together, they reinforce a critical message: cardiovascular prevention must take a life-course approach — from early detection in childhood to equitable access to specialised care.
✅ Key priorities from the updated paediatric FH consensus:
* Expand paediatric screening programmes
* Enable earlier diagnosis and treatment
* Adopt lower LDL-C treatment targets
* Improve transition from paediatric to adult care
* Reduce cumulative LDL-C exposure from early life
🌍 The global lipid clinic consensus (500+ clinics, 55 countries) highlights the need to:
* Strengthen and harmonise lipid clinic networks
* Improve access to specialised care
* Support national registries
* Ensure sustainable funding models
💙 We are especially proud that the patient voice and lived experience were embedded throughout both initiatives, with contributions from the FH Europe Foundation community.
These publications come at a pivotal time, as Europe advances efforts in early prevention, cardiovascular health checks, and the implementation of the EU Safe Hearts Plan.
