Mashup Score: 4
It is unclear to what extent genetic testing improves the ability to diagnose familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH). We investigated the percentage with FH among individuals referred to Danish lipid clinics, and evaluated the impact of genetic testing for a diagnosis of FH.

Mashup Score: 1LDL cholesterol targets rarely achieved in familial hypercholesterolemia patients: A sex and gender-specific analysis - 1 year(s) ago
Despite lipid lowering therapy (LLT), reaching LDL-C targets in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) remains challenging. Our aim was to determine attainment of LDL-C target levels and reasons for not reaching these in female and male FH patients.

Mashup Score: 2Metabolic syndrome predicts cardiovascular risk and mortality in familial hypercholesterolemia - 1 year(s) ago
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is one of the most prevalent forms of genetic dyslipidemias with an estimated prevalence of ∼1/300 worldwide,1,2 but with considerable variability in some populations.3,4 FH is an autosomal co-dominant genetic disease associated with extremely elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (>95th percentile for age and sex) and premature atherosclerotic…
