CONTENT AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Are you providing diet and lifestyle advice to those concerned about heart health? Could they have Familial Hypercholesterolaemia (FH)? Are you up to speed with the latest dietary advice for Familial Hypercholesterolaemia? Do you know how it differs from standard heart health dietary advice?
When surveyed recently by HEART UK, 32% of health professionals in lipid clinics felt that dietetic support was only fair or poor and only 9% rated it as excellent. In clinics with no dietetic support or in clinics referring to general practice services, patients may receive advice from dietitians who lack the experience specialist knowledge and support network required to treat the severe and complex cases of dyslipidaemias.
BE AWARE OF:
- Prevalence of Familial Hypercholesterolaemia as a % of overall heart / CV disease in the UK – impacting on all advisors seeing heart health patients
- The current drive to increase the diagnosis of Familial Hypercholesterolaemia in the UK
- HEART UK resources for HCPs and patients/families
- NICE other national /European guidelines on Familial Hypercholesterolaemia specifically
KNOW:
- What Familial Hypercholesterolaemia means – causes – warning signs, diagnosis and treatments
- Why Familial Hypercholesterolaemia carries increased CVD risk and understand the increased risk compared to those with just elevated lipids without FH
- How dietary advice for Familial Hypercholesterolaemia differs from standard heart health advice
- How much a non-specialist HCP can undertake and when they need to refer onto a lipid / Familial Hypercholesterolaemia specialist
- Who and how to refer on for most specialist advice
BE ABLE TO:
- Check and interpret relevant medical history e.g. biochemistry results, anthropometry, medication (esp. re drug and dietary interactions) etc.
- Tailor dietary advice depending on above
