Familial hypercholesterolaemia in Portugal.

Atherosclerosis - 1 Feb 2008

Bourbon M, Alves A C, Medeiros A M, Silva S, Soutar A K

Abstract excerpt

Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is characterised clinically by an increased level of circulating LDL cholesterol that leads to lipid accumulation in tendons and arteries, premature atherosclerosis and increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Although Portugal should have about 20,000 cases, this disease is severely under-diagnosed in our country, this being the first presentation of Portuguese data on...
