We successfully opened my #CTO last week. Access through both wrists and neck, #TIMI went from 0-3 and we'll finish with a stent in 3 months. Thank you @UABCardiology #cathlab #chronic #Familial #Hypercholesterolemia #Lpa #ASCVD #cardiac

My family waiting on me to get out of my 16th heart cath. @Cigna doesn't think I'm important enough to them and keeps denying Repatha. #Angioplasty #Familial Hypercholesterolemia #Lpa #sitosterolemia #genetics #cardiac #HeartStrong @FamilyHeartFdn @Amgen @advcardiohealth

I just love my annual battle with @Cigna over my #Repatha. Having FH, Lp(a), and homozygous sitosterolemia isn't enough. I've been on triple therapy for 5 years and have severe chronic #ASCVD but I'm getting denied again. Get your shit together! #KnowFH #KnowLPa #amgen #lipids

I needed to stop for chest pain today, but I still got out there. A new CPR kit for the school is worth a little discomfort. #heartstrong #CPR #heartmonth #cardiackid #HeartHealth

Walking to raise money for my children's school to get a new CPR kit. I'm also Celebrating 11 years since my widow maker. I'm incredibly grateful to wake up each day and for every moment I'm given! #heartstrong #KnowFH #KnowLpa @AmHeartAdvocacy @American_Heart @huntsvillecity #rocketcity

Who needs a lipidologist for Familial Hypercholesterolemia in 2026? We all know that Genetics can be changed with OTC supplements. At least we can get whole milk in schools again because YoUr bRaIn NeEdS ChOlEsTeRoL. #Familial #Lipids #genetics #lipoprotein #heartstrong

I recently started playing Final Fantasy with my wife. She has asked me for 10 years and I gave in last month. I made my character as absurd as possible 🤣 #FFXIV #moondog #auryea #gamers #squareenix

My little buddy did so well at his school spelling bee. He is in first grade and stood toe to toe with 4th and 5th grade students. Proud dad moment!

My FH princess turned 6 in December, which means she started a statin as well. She has tolerated very well so far and I couldn't be happier. She'll never have to know a life of heart disease from FH. #UAB #Familial #Hypercholesterolemia #pediatric #cardiovascular

Account recovered and happy to be back on X and continue my mission to help others with heart disease and genetic lipid disorders. 2026 is going to be a big year for my family and we can't wait to share! #heartstrong #HeartHealth #Lipoprotein #Hypercholesterolemia #sitosterolemia #Genetics

Aditi was told she was too young and fit to worry about her high cholesterol. And then she had a stroke. Watch her whole story to finding out she has FH: youtu.be/hTumlWXENx8 #KnowFH #StrokeMonth

I'm so thankful that the days of suffering from dermatitis are over. I had some really dark moments of non-stop burning and itching with no relief in sight. I was constantly on steroids and was always miserable. Not anymore! @Regeneron #Dupixent #Eczema

Food for thought - surely this helps make the case for primordial prevention - long before bone shows up in an artery @nationallip @escardio @society_eas
Atherosclerosis, the number one killer worldwide, begins much earlier than when it can be detected by coronary artery calcium (CAC) score

#ICYMI - there's new research showing that regular aspirin use was associated with significantly lower heart-related death rates in people without pre-existing cardiovascular disease who also have high Lp(a). sciencedirect.com/science/ar… #KnowLpa @rblument1 @khurramn1
