A Conversation with Chloe: Living with HoFH

The Radabaugh family has made advocacy a family tradition. It all started when Scott had an emergency quadruple bypass to save his life from what would have been a fatal, “widow-maker heart attack," at just 43 years old. Scott asked his surgeon “why did this happen to me?” He only offered: “you have heart disease in your family.” Since Scott already knew his family’s heart history, and he had been living a heart-healthy lifestyle for most of his life; he left feeling with little hope that a heart attack wouldn’t happen again. Then, Scott had his kids tested and discovered all three had very high cholesterol. That's when the family were told they were all affected by familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Today, Scott and his son Luke are Family Heart Foundation Ambassadors. Scott even decorated his beloved bike to transform it into the Motorcycle that Saves Lives. Today, Chloe is a senior in high school and lives withe homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH), the rare and more severe form of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Because of her dad's emergency heart surgery, Chloe was diagnosed at a young age and has been treating her condition since she was a small child, so we wanted to ask her about her life with HoFH.
