Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome (FCS): recognizing, diagnosing, and managing an overlooked genetic form of severe hypertriglyceridemia (sHTG) by Ionis
Please join Ionis at AACE2024 for an expert-led discussion focused on this debilitating condition that often subjects patients to frequent bouts of pancreatitis, abdominal pain, and a host of other severe symptoms. The impact isn’t just physical; people with FCS also experience a serious psychosocial burden due to anxiety and uncertainty about diet and treatment, difficulty remaining employed, and restricted social lives. This presentation will educate providers on the mechanism of disease behind FCS, how to distinguish FCS from other forms of severe hypertriglyceridemia (sHTG), and current management strategies for this underdiagnosed disease.
