The blurb reads as follows:
According to the World Health Organisation, approximately 10 million people worldwide suffer from Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH). In Malaysia, this number is 1 in 500. This means that there are close to 56,000 Malaysians suffering from premature heart disease and many of them do not know it. This book chronicles one man’s journey to study the prevalence of FH among Malaysians and the monumental effort he made to ensure that they obtained all the necessary support, medication and treatment.
and your LDL level is 5 mmol/l and above,
you are clinically an FH patient.
‘Dato’ Dr. Khoo Kah Lin … worked tirelessly and almost alone to throw a lifeline to young people genetically programmed to self-destruct prematurely. This book is an inspiration for doctors, researchers and patients in Malaysia, the region, and the world.’
Dato’ Dr. Joseph Eravelly
Past President, National Heart Association of Malaysia
