Step 5 of 10 · Decision support
Clinical pathway
What this step shows
The patient is assigned to a clinical pathway from the history entered. The pathway decides which risk assessment is used next.
Clinical pathway
Special Category — Familial Hypercholesterolemia
Patients with (suspected) FH are handled by dedicated FH risk rules rather than the general-population calculator.
How this was decided
- ✕ Established cardiovascular disease on file? (secondary prevention) No prior CVD event on file.
- ✓ Familial hypercholesterolemia suspected or confirmed? FH routes to a dedicated special-category pathway rather than the standard population risk calculator.
