My ESC News 24 June 2026 - A Weekly Update of ESC Events & Resources   European Heart Journal: How early is early enough? Treating familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) before risk takes root   In the SAFEHEART prospective cohort, investigators assessed long-term outcomes in genetically confirmed familial hypercholesterolaemia among 348 affected children/adolescents, 165 unaffected relatives, and 288 affected parents. Starting cholesterol-lowering therapy in youth, at a median age of 14.5 years versus 36.1 years in parents, reduced lifelong LDL-C burden and achieved LDL-C levels close to unaffected peers. By age 39, cardiovascular events occurred in 0.3% of treated young FH patients versus 5.2% of affected parents, supporting early detection and treatment.   Read the article Cardiovascular Science ESC journals - recent articles   Enjoy free access today to: European Heart Journal: Great debate: surgical aortic valve replacement is first choice for aortic stenosis in patients with a life expectancy beyond 5 years.
