Abstract
The Dutch Lipid Clinic Network (DLCN) scoring system is a recognized tool to risk stratify and diagnose familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH). FH is an autosomal dominant condition that predisposes individuals to high serum low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels, and is a recognized cause of accelerated atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, including ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). 46% of Malaysian patients with STEMI were found to have probable/possible FH by DLCN criteria.
