Highlights

  • 443 healthcare professionals involved in the management of CVD completed a survey assessing their knowledge of FH.
  • The prevalence and associated risk of FH continue to be underestimated.
  • Unless knowledge is improved, patients with FH will continue to be diagnosed late, and may not be managed appropriately.
  • Knowledge of FH can easily be improved through targeted education.
  • Fewer than 10% of healthcare professionals surveyed report that their region manages FH well.
