Study on LDL cholesterol management for heart disease patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a clinical pharmacist-led team can help manage LDL cholesterol levels in patients with heart or blood vessel disease. It aims to improve care for people with conditions like coronary artery disease, stroke, or peripheral artery disease.

This study tests whether an educational program can help people with high cholesterol and heart disease get their LDL cholesterol levels lower. It involves watching online videos and working with your doctor to adjust treatments.
This trial studies how to lower “bad” cholesterol (LDL) in people age 75 and older who have already had heart, brain, or leg/blood-vessel problems from blocked arteries. The goal is to see if the approach helps prevent further cardiovascular events (like heart attack or stroke).
This study tests a team-based approach to help people with artery disease (like heart attacks or leg blockages) get their cholesterol to a healthier level. If your LDL is above 70, you may benefit from extra support to manage your medications.
This study tests if adding non-statin medications can help people with heart or blood vessel disease who still have high cholesterol despite taking statins. It aims to get their LDL (bad) cholesterol to a safer level.
This study tests whether giving extra education to doctors and patients can help improve cholesterol management after a heart-related hospitalization. It aims to see if a simple program can make sure patients get the right testing and treatment for high cholesterol.
This study tests if a team of specialists working together can help people who have had a heart attack lower their bad cholesterol (LDL) more effectively than standard care. It aims to improve long-term heart health.
