This publication is intended as an educational resource for general practitioners and cardiologists in NZ to assist with the identification of unrecognised familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) and its care. It emphasises the importance of screening for this prevalent but underdiagnosed disease and gives guidance on early and aggressive treatment.
