New program aims to close the gap on missed genetic high cholesterol diagnoses
NCT ID NCT05284513
Summary
This study aims to improve how often people with Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH), a common genetic cause of very high cholesterol, are diagnosed. Researchers are testing a new set of tools and support for primary care doctors to help them spot FH earlier in both adults and children. If successful, the program could be used by other healthcare systems to find and treat more people with this condition before it causes heart problems.
