Knowing your family heart history and getting checkups at your child’s pediatrician should be routine. Pediatrician Nathan Chomilo shares one good reason why:
Millions of people have a condition that puts them at high risk for heart disease and stroke, and it has nothing to do with how much you exercise, what you eat or how much you weigh. It’s called FH – familial hypercholesterolemia. A rare form – HoFH -- can lead to heart attacks and strokes in teens and young adults.
