I've been going around thinking that I'm, then that's again, misuse, not good use of maybe numbers or statistics.

I've been going around thinking that I've got in the next five years, there's an 80% chance I'm going to die of a heart attack.

I'm like, no, it's 2% in 10 years.

Right.

Right.

So, so there's also that as well.

So I do think we need us to think a little bit carefully on it, but coming back to FH, FH affects familial hypolipidemia, genetically very high cholesterol.

Okay.

50% of men and 70% of women, right.

With FH untreated.

big numbers, will not develop premature heart disease.

But 30% of women will, and 50%, which is a lot, will get, even before maybe 50 or 60, will get heart disease.

So I did actually a review paper with a number of international scientists as well, and we published it in BMJ Evidence-Based Medicine.

And we thought, okay,

That's interesting.

50% of men with FH, familial hyperlipidemia, very high LDL, don't get heart disease, and 50% do.

Is there anything we can find that's different between them that highlights the subgroup?

What is the difference between them?

First thing, was it the LDL?

Is the LDL higher in those ones that get heart disease versus the ones that don't?
