Summary

This study tests a program to help blood donors who have familial hypercholesterolemia (a genetic condition causing very high cholesterol) get proper treatment. One hundred participants will either receive standard notification about their condition or a bundle of extra support, including educational materials and a care navigator. The goal is to see if the extra support leads to lower LDL cholesterol levels after six months.
