Cardiovascular Disease

If the patient has preexisting cardiovascular disease, we need to document at least one example. See the right hand list for example of cardiovascular disease.

What to Send

• What type of cardiovascular disease the patient has.

Examples

Familial Hypercholesterolemia

For FH patient use the MEDPED criteria to qualify the patient's diagnosis. (This is based on total cholesterol, not LDL)
