Can breastfeeding protect a Mother's heart?
NCT ID NCT05367310
Summary
This study aims to understand how breastfeeding affects cholesterol levels and other heart health markers in women with a genetic condition causing very high cholesterol (familial hypercholesterolemia). Researchers will follow 50 pregnant women, with and without this condition, for a year after birth, collecting blood and breast milk samples. The goal is to gather knowledge about heart health during and after pregnancy, and to check if cholesterol-lowering medications pass into breast milk.
