Simplifying Familial Hypercholesterolemia Diagnosis: A New Approach

In this episode of Cardio Buzz, we delve into the complexities of diagnosing #familial #Hypercholesterolemia (FH), the most common monogenic disorder in humans. Traditionally, the Dutch Lipid Clinic Network (DLCN) score has been used for diagnosis, but recent research from Austria suggests a simpler and more effective approach. By analyzing 469 patients, researchers found that an off-treatment #ldl #cholesterol level exceeding 190 mg/dL could be a more practical criterion for FH identification, potentially replacing the intricate DLCN scoring system. Join us as we discuss these groundbreaking findings and their implications for clinical practice. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more cardiology insights!
