Living Life to the Max- a short film about living with Familial hypercholesterolaemia

Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH for short) is an inherited condition which can lead to extremely high cholesterol levels. It's passed down through families in the genes.

Without treatment, FH can lead to heart disease at a very young age. But once it's been diagnosed, it can be treated with medicines and a healthy lifestyle.

Even if you have a very healthy lifestyle your cholesterol can be high with FH, and can become much higher than in other people.
