FH Europe Trustee
I am a pediatric preventive cardiologist with a 40 year history of clinical practice and research. In the last decade or so, I have focussed on increasing awareness and improving care related to familial hypercholesterolemia. The Global Call to Action, an international collaborative effort, led by the FH Foundation and the World Heart Federation, and based on the WHO report on familial hypercholesterolemia first published in 1998, was published in JAMA Cardiology in 2020. I am happy to have played an important role in bringing this document to world wide attention.
