Alert test for cholesterol meds in PAD patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special alert in your electronic health record can help doctors start the right cholesterol-lowering medication for people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who are not already on one. The goal is to see if the alert helps get treatment started more often.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with peripheral artery disease (PAD).
- You are not currently on any medication to lower your 'bad' cholesterol, like a statin.
