How is FH Diagnosed and Managed?

FH is typically diagnosed through a combination of clinical assessments, family history, and genetic testing. Management involves lifestyle changes and pharmacological interventions, such as statins, which are crucial to lower cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular complications. Toxicologists assess the safety and efficacy of these treatments, ensuring they do not pose additional health risks.
