Abstrakt: A recent report from the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center discusses the case of a patient who experienced an early myocardial infarction (heart attack) after receiving a liver transplant from a donor with undetected heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). The patient, a 67-year-old female with liver cirrhosis, received the transplant from her daughter, who was found to have FH. The research highlights the importance of thorough pre-transplant testing and lipid-lowering therapy post-transplantation to prevent cardiovascular complications. The full report can be accessed for free online. [Extracted from the article]
