PERFECTO is at the forefront of combating cardiovascular disease through early detection and personalised prevention. Our mission targets Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH), the most common genetic cause of heart conditions, affecting millions from birth. Together, we're championing paediatric screening to safeguard future generations and ensure a lifetime of cardiovascular well-being.
High cholesterol isn't just an adult concern. From birth, Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH) can set the stage for early heart disease. Knowing is the first step to prevention. PERFECTO champions early screening to unveil this hidden risk and steer young lives towards heart-healthy futures.
FH remains an unresolved CVD public health issue in Europe and globally today.
PERFECTO orchestrates change through five synergistic Work Packages (WPs), each tailored to advance our understanding, communication, and implementation of paediatric screening for Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH) across Europe. From in-depth research to inclusive health literacy and policy advocacy, our integrated approach lays the groundwork for a healthier, heart-conscious society
The packages consist of Strategic Management, Evidence and Advocacy, Tailored Communications, Health Equity and Community Engagement.
