Summary

This study is for people with familial hypercholesterolemia (inherited high cholesterol) who have no heart symptoms yet. Researchers will use a special CT scan to check for hidden blockages in the heart arteries. The goal is to learn which factors are linked to these blockages, so doctors can better predict and prevent heart problems in the future. About 600 adults aged 40 and older (men) or 50 and older (women) will take part.
