Diagnostic performance of different criteria and status of Prothrombotic Biomarkers in subjects with Familial Hypercholesterolaemia / Radzi Rahmat

Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH) have several diagnostic criteria including the Dutch Lipid Clinic Criteria (DLCC). However, the comparative diagnostic reference and association between these criteria have yet to be established. Furthermore, the literatures on the prothrombotic status of FH and d...
