Breastfeeding's hidden effect on heart health in moms with genetic high cholesterol
NCT ID NCT05367310
First seen Feb 05, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study looks at how breastfeeding changes cholesterol and heart disease risk in women with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a genetic condition causing very high cholesterol. Researchers will follow 50 pregnant women (with and without FH) from late pregnancy through one year after giving birth, collecting blood and breast milk samples. The goal is to understand if breastfeeding affects heart risk differently in women with FH, and to measure how much cholesterol-lowering medication passes into breast milk.
