Abstract

Familial heterozygous hypercholesterolaemia is the most relevant lipid disorder, which diminishes the life expectancy of affected patients by 15–30 years. Diagnosis in childhood can be easily established by LDL-cholesterol screening – and in case of elevated levels – genetic testing. Early therapy improves prognosis significantly. The Vroni study analyses the feasibility and efficiency of a population-wide screening for FH in order to improve the treatment of affected families.
