Abstract
Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is the most common monogenic cause of premature coronary artery disease. FH remains underdiagnosed and inadequately treated, with no national strategies for dealing with the problem. We report an executive summary of a comprehensive model of care for FH developed in Western Australia.
