Frequency of testing for dyslipidemia: OHTAC recommendation
Ontario Health Technology Advisory Committee
Record ID 32014000643
English
Authors' recommendations:
In individuals with normal lipid levels or dyslipidemia (e.g., abnormal levels of fat and/or cholesterol in the blood), or for individuals currently being treated for dyslipidemia, there is insufficient evidence upon which OHTAC can make a recommendation on the frequency of lipid testing.
Until higher quality evidence becomes available, OHTAC recommends that consideration be given to using the current Canadian Cardiovascular Society Guidelines.
