Guideline
Familial hypercholesterolaemia: identifification and management
Familial hypercholesterolaemia: identification and management - National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)
This guideline covers identifying and managing familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH), a specific type of high cholesterol that runs in the family, in children, young people and adults. It aims to help identify people at increased risk of coronary heart disease as a result of having FH.
In October 2019, we changed the first recommendation on case finding and diagnosis to be clearer about when to suspect familial hypercholesterolaemia.
