Abstract
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a hereditary autosomal dominant disorder characterized by elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels and decreased numbers of functioning receptors for them. A serious complication of FH is systemic atherosclerosis, which occurs in young people, and even children, who do not have risk factors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Untimely diagnosis, lack of specific treatment can lead to the development of premature acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and stroke, early cardiovascular death or disability of patients. The authors present a description of a case of early coronary atherosclerosis complicated by AMI in a young man 37 years old with unspecified FH.
