Real-world family planning and pregnancy practices in women with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia
This study highlights significant variability in the management of HoFH in women of childbearing age, especially concerning LLT use during conception, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. The findings underscore the need for further research to establish global evidence-based guidelines tailored to individual needs, to improve cardiovascular risk management and reproductive health outcomes for women with HoFH worldwide.
