Summary
Familial hypercholesterolemia is a disorder which does not “hurt”. The brief case report presents the story of a patient in which neither he or his family were compliant with therapy and the family was even opposed to cascade screening, although familial hypercholesterolemia was confirmed in them. The case report shows the need of psychological intervention.
Key words:
