Abstract

BACKGROUND: Heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (heFH) is a ă genetic disease causing high levels of low-density lipoprotein ă cholesterol (LDL-C). Although this population is at high cardiovascular ă (CV) risk, the risk is variable within patients depending on additional ă risk factors. CV disease risk groups have been defined by the Nouvelle ă Societe Francophone d'Atherosclerose (NSFA) and by the National Lipid ă Association recommendations. ă OBJECTIVES: The study aimed to describe a sample of French heFH ă patients, comparing patients at very high risk (VHR) and patients at ă high risk in terms of demographic and clinical characteristics as well ă as biological measurements and disease management. ă METHODS: Cross-sectional retrospective analysis on 734 patients ă hospitalized after 2005 in 5 academic centers. ă RESULTS: When considering NSFA classification, 550 (74.9%) patients ă belonged to the VHR group. Most patients in the VHR group presented more ă than 1 risk factor, the most prevalent ones being Lp(a) > 50 mg/dL and ă smoking. Patients in the VHR group were older (50.6 vs 45.0 years old, P ă =.0002), and presented a higher body mass index (25.5 kg/m(2) vs 23.3 ă kg/m(2), P
