To mark FH Awareness Day 2026, FH Europe Foundation is launching a new three-part webinar series designed to help people better understand cholesterol, familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH), other lipid-related cardiovascular risk factors, and the treatment options available today and emerging for tomorrow.
Starting with the basics and progressing from understanding cholesterol, to making sense of test results, and finally exploring treatment options, the trilogy will bring together experts to translate the science into clear, practical information.
The series launches during EU Screening Week, following the announcement of the EU Know Your Numbers campaign, and against the broader backdrop of the EU Safe Hearts Plan and its ambition to improve cardiovascular health and prevention across Europe.

What is cholesterol? What is the difference between high cholesterol and familial hypercholesterolaemia? And what other lipid markers should we know about?
Our first webinar will explore cholesterol and key lipid markers, the difference between high cholesterol and FH, why early identification matters, and how science and policy can support better detection and cardiovascular disease prevention.
The session will be moderated by Magdalena Daccord, CEO of FH Europe Foundation, and will bring together:

You have had your blood tests, but what do the numbers actually mean?
This practical session will focus on understanding blood test results, cardiovascular health assessments and cardiovascular risk. It will also explore how having a better understanding of your results can support more informed conversations with healthcare professionals.
Speakers will be announced soon.

What options are available to manage high cholesterol and FH today, and what could the future bring?
Our final webinar will explore current approaches to cholesterol management and FH treatment, emerging innovations, and the role of shared decision-making in care.
Speakers will be announced soon.
Developed by FH Europe Foundation in collaboration with EPHA, the trilogy is open to anyone who wants to better understand cholesterol and cardiovascular health—whether you are living with FH or high cholesterol, supporting a family member, representing a patient organisation, or simply interested in learning more.
Registration is free and open to all.
More information about the webinars and speakers will be announced soon. Stay tuned and join us as we move from knowing your numbers to understanding what they mean–and what you can do about them.
