The family of a 29 year old Cheshire man who died suddenly from failure have been diagnosed with a genetic condition which causes abnormally high levels of cholesterol. The condition is familial hypercholesterolaemia, or FH; and the family of the late Mike Clarke were tested for FH at a new screening service for Cheshire and Merseyside. In this podcast we hear from Mike’s brother Simon and three people behind the new testing service, Consultant Chemical Pathologist Dr Shirley Bowles; Consultant Chemical Pathologist Dr David Oleesky; and FH service specialist nurse Julia Finch. They’re in conversation with Caroline Kenyon. A fundraising page has been set up by Katie Bridge, Mike Clarke’s sister, in aid of Cardiac Risk in the Young: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/katie-bridges2
