Cultural Barriers in the Treatment of Dyslipidemia: A Survey of Japanese Physician Attitudes.

CONCLUSIONS: Awareness of target values for lipid management and of adverse reactions to drug therapy appears to vary somewhat depending on the participant's medical specialty. We also found that FH is probably underdiagnosed in Japan today. Further educations on proper diagnosis and management of dyslipidemia are required for physicians who are not specialized in cardiovascular health. PMID: 29780067 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
