Abstract
Premature aortic involvement and comprehensive management strategies in familial hypercholesterolemia familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder, poses significant challenges due to its propensity for elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, premature coronary heart disease, and vascular atherosclerosis. Unraveling Cardiovascular Complexities: A Striking Familial Hypercholesterolemia. This case study delves into a remarkable instance of FH in a 16-year-old female who presented with chest pain and worsening dyspnea. Diagnostic evaluation revealed distinct electrocardiographic changes, elevated troponin levels, and profound dyslipidemia. Remarkable findings on transthoracic echocardiography, computed tomography angiography, and catheterization prompted multidisciplinary interventions and demonstrated remarkable enhancements in ventricular function, mitral regurgitation, and aortic stenosis. The case study underscores the urgency of comprehensive management strategies in confronting the myriad challenges of FH, emphasizing the value of early intervention, innovative therapies, and rigorous imaging modalities for unraveling the intricate cardiovascular manifestations of this condition.
