Abstract
Homozygous Familial Hypercholestrolaemia is a metabolic disorder which usually presents with earlycardiac disease ranging from premature ischaemic heart disease, including myocardial infarction to aortic root stenosis, but rarely it may present with earlier anginal symptoms due to supravalvular aortic stenosis. A 17-year old South Asian boy presented himself with chest pain associated with mild to moderate exercise. He was diagnosed as a case of Homozygous Familial Hypercholestrolaemia. His anginal symptoms were due to an underlying supravalvular aortic stenosis lesion which is a rare presentation of Homozygous Familial Hypercholestrolaemia.
