H.E.A.R.T. UK (The Hyperlipidaemia Education and Atherosclerosis Trust UK) came about when the Family Heart Association (FHA) merged with the BHA in 2002.

H.E.A.R.T. UK provides information on coronary heart disease and its management by diet, lifestyle and drugs. H.E.A.R.T. UK aims to help anyone at high risk of coronary heart disease especially families with inherited high cholesterol as in FH, familial hypercholesterolaemia, and FCH, familial combined hyperlipidaemia.

H.E.A.R.T. UK is governed by a committee, half of whom are patients. There is also an eminent medical advisory panel that includes some of Britain's leading doctors specialising in heart problems and lipid disorders.

The Digest, free to members, is published quarterly. It includes articles on medicine and science, advice on food, diet and lifestyle, recipe suggestions, news and views.

H.E.A.R.T. UK also produces and distributes literature, arranges public workshops, professional seminars and medical conferences. For further information please telephone or write to the above address.
