Cardiovascular Prevention as the Cornerstone of a Competitive Europe – Scaling Up Lipid Screening to Secure Next Generations

A Decade of Advocacy, A Future of Prevention

Ten years ago, FH Europe Foundation held its first-ever high-level event on familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) paediatric screening in the European Parliament. It was a pioneering milestone that put inherited lipid disorders firmly on the political agenda. A decade later, the urgency remains the same: we can no longer wait.

That is why this meeting is more than a Parliament event; it’s a call to action. It builds on the foundation laid by the Prague Declaration on FH Paediatric Screening and the Brussels Declaration on Lp(a) Testing and Management. It’s part of a movement that places inherited lipid conditions at the centre of cardiovascular prevention strategies, where they have always belonged.

We invite policymakers, clinicians, researchers, patient advocates, and citizens to join us as we take the next step. In person or online, your voice matters.

The event will be co-hosted by MEP Romana Jerković, Chair of the MEP Cardiovascular Health Group, and MEP Tomislav Sokol, Member of SANT Committee on Public Health – underlining strong political momentum to put early detection, screening, and personalised prevention at the heart of Europe’s health and competitiveness agenda.
