Hypercholesterolemia

Hypercholesterolemia is a metabolic lipid disorder characterized by abnormally elevated concentrations of circulating total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in the bloodstream Primarily impacting the cardiovascular and vascular systems across pediatric and adult populations, it can arise from primary polygenic or monogenic defects, such as low-density lipoprotein receptor mutations, or secondary causes including metabolic disease, diet, and medications
