Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether a telephone call from a chemical pathologist to the requesting general practitioner (GP) of individuals at high risk of familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) increases specialist referral and detection of FH. METHOD: Individuals with an LDL-cholesterol ≥ 6.5 mmol/L without secondary causes were identified from a community laboratory; 100 cases and 96 historical controls. All...
