英国国家医疗服务体系（NHS）宣布启动一项创新计划，从秋季起在英格兰的社区药房为患者提供免费胆固醇快速检测服务1。这一举措针对40至84岁且过去一年未进行过血液检查的人群，旨在及早识别心脏病和中风的高风险患者1。检测过程仅需七分钟，通过指尖采血进行，结果可即时获得1。
英国首席药学官David Webb表示："通过让人们更容易在本地高街获得快速便捷的胆固醇健康检查，我们可以更早发现风险，帮助人们采取行动，预防心脏病和中风发生"1。该计划首先将在约100家NHS药房推行1。根据伦敦北部试点项目的数据，在2493名患者中，19%被检测出处于高风险状态，其中至少88人因此开始服用他汀类药物1。NHS预计这一计划在十年内将相关死亡率降低四分之一1。
The National Health Service has announced a groundbreaking initiative to provide free rapid cholesterol screening at community pharmacies across England beginning this autumn 1. The program targets individuals aged 40 to 84 who have not undergone blood tests within the past year, aiming to identify those at high risk of heart disease and stroke 1.
The fingertip blood test takes approximately seven minutes to complete, with results analyzed immediately 1. According to a pilot scheme conducted in North London involving 2,493 patients, 19 percent were identified as high-risk, and at least 88 individuals subsequently began taking statins as a result 1. The initial rollout will cover approximately 100 NHS pharmacies across England 1. David Webb, England's Chief Pharmaceutical Officer, stated that by "making it easier for people to access quick and convenient cholesterol health checks locally on the high street, we can identify risk earlier and help people take action to prevent heart disease and stroke" 1.
The NHS expects the initiative to reduce deaths from heart disease and stroke by approximately one-quarter within ten years 1.
