[Familial hypercholesterolemia: An under-diagnosed and under-treated disease. Survey of 495 physicians].

CONCLUSION: Given the high frequency of HF and the associated cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, general practitioners have a decisive role to play for the identification and the management of these patients. The recent publication of HAS recommendations on family screening procedures and care of HF patients should improve the management of this disease.
