CASE ANALYSIS

Scenario

A lipid clinic captures the family history of a patient with suspected familial hypercholesterolemia. The drawing links repeated cholesterol diagnoses with an earlier case of coronary artery disease.

Key decisions

  • Premature coronary disease: Henry carries both coronary artery disease and hypercholesterolemia fills.
  • Affected sibling branch: Michael and Susan show that the lipid condition is not isolated to one person.
  • Index patient: Olivia is highlighted as the person seen in clinic.
  • Unaffected comparison: Daniel has no condition fill in the recorded history.

When to reuse this

Use this genogram when a lipid specialist is gathering a family history for possible inherited high cholesterol. Add laboratory values and genetic results outside the diagram when available.
