Abstract
A telephone call from a chemical pathologist to the requesting GP of patients at high risk of FH was associated with significantly higher rates of FH detection and specialist referral. Over 70% of individuals with an LDL-cholesterol ≥6.5 mmol/L were diagnosed with FH. However, further investigation is required to improve the relatively low referral rate.
