Improving patient outcomes in familial hypercholesterolaemia across the continuum of care

“家族性”指的是家族遗传，“高胆固醇血症”指的是高胆固醇血症。家族性高胆固醇血症(FH)是遗传性高胆固醇血症中最常见和最严重的形式。患有FH的人患心血管疾病的风险增加。高胆固醇还在2017-18年度给澳大利亚经济带来了约40亿美元的负担。对预防策略的实际研究将改善心血管健康结果，并降低医疗费用负担。

'Familial' means it runs in families and 'hypercholesterolaemia' means high blood cholesterol. Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is the most common and serious form of inherited high cholesterol. People with FH are at an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease. High cholesterol also placed an estimated $4 billion burden on the Australian economy in 2017-18. Practical research on prevention strategies will improve cardiovascular health outcomes and lower the burden of health costs.
