Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND AIMS:Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is under-diagnosed and under-treated in most of the world, including Canada. National registries play a key role in identifying patients with FH, understanding gaps in care, and advancing the science of FH to better treat these patients. METHODS:FH Canada has established a national registry across 19 academic sites acting as "hubs" in Canada to increase awareness and access to standard-of-care therapies. RESULTS:To-date, more than 3000 patients with FH have been entered into a secure, web-based database. Early outcomes of this initiative include a greater understanding of treatment gaps for patients with FH in Canada, the development of a new, simplified Canadian definition of FH, and tools to aid in the diagnosis of FH, including imputation of baseline levels of LDL cholesterol. CONCLUSIONS:As the national registry expands in size and scope, further learning will emerge with ultimate benefit for the diagnosis and treatment of FH in Canada.
