The National Hyperlipidaemia Guidelines 2022 aims to provide doctors, nurses, and allied health practitioners with the tools to diagnose patients with high cholesterol levels, who should be screened, and treatments recommended to control their cholesterol levels to reduce associated risks. 
 
Hyperlipidaemia is a medical term for abnormally high level of fats (lipids) in the blood, which includes cholesterol and triglycerides. Although it can be inherited, hyperlipidaemia is most often the result of lifestyle factors, including an unbalanced diet and lack of physical activity. As the national stroke and rehabilitation centre, BNSRC has handled cases involving hyperlipidaemia and have made it their goal to improve early diagnosis and treatment for all. With the recent publishment of guidelines, it will be used as reference tool in providing better diagnosis and treatment.
