Abstract

Cascade screening for familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) refers to the systematic testing of relatives of people known to have FH (termed ‘indexes’). Cascade screening is cost-effective compared to no screening, but alternative screening strategies have not been studied. Our objective was to identify the cost-effective strategy to select indexes to cascade, and to contacting and testing their relatives.
