Collaboration:

EAS at the FH Europe Foundation Annual Network Meeting 2024!

The FH Europe Foundation Annual Network Meeting 2024 recently brought together the familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) patient community, healthcare professionals, and advocacy groups for a powerful and collaborative event. The European Atherosclerosis Society was proud to attend and show our support for the incredible work being done by patients and their families to raise awareness and advocate for better treatment options.

This meeting was a vital platform for patients to share their experiences, discuss the challenges of living with FH and atherosclerosis, and unite their voices for change. The dedication and passion of the patient community were at the heart of every conversation, highlighting the growing call for earlier diagnosis, better care, and innovative treatment options.

As the event came to a close, it was clear that the power of the FH Europe community lies in its ability to come together, support one another, and work toward meaningful change. The EAS is proud to stand alongside these patients and advocates, supporting their efforts to create a future where people living with FH and atherosclerosis have access to the best possible care and treatment.

We would like to thank the organizers for the invitation.
