TRANSCRIPT

Page 1: Cascade digital flyer_8x11

The CASCADE FH Registry™ enables patients to directly report on their quality of life, effectiveness of treatment and satisfaction with care. The result will be increased knowledge and scientific understanding of the disease to help those with FH lead longer, healthier lives.

• FH is a common life-threatening inherited disorder.

• If untreated, FH leads to early heart disease and premature heart attacks.

• FH is characterized by two things: 1) Family history of early heart disease and 2) High LDL-cholesterol (“bad cholesterol”).

• If you have FH, each of your close family members (parents, siblings, children, etc.) has a 50% chance of having FH.

• FH affects women, men, and children of all racial and ethnic backgrounds.

• FH is treatable!
