Decision support tool for familial high cholesterol
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests a computer tool that helps doctors identify and manage people with familial high cholesterol. It aims to improve care for those who may not yet have a diagnosis.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You receive care at Brigham and Women's Hospital in endocrinology, heart medicine, or primary care clinics.
- You have a Dutch Lipid Clinic Network score of at least 3 points, which indicates a possible or definite family history of high cholesterol.
- You do not already have a diagnosis of familial high cholesterol in your medical records.

This study looks at how people with high cholesterol (including familial hypercholesterolemia) and high heart risk are treated in real life. It is observational, so you would not get any new medicine—just have your usual care and visits reviewed.
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.
This trial focuses on people referred to a cholesterol (lipid) clinic to help identify inherited high cholesterol. It tests an “interpretive comment” approach to nudge detection—meaning it may help clinicians recognize who is most likely to have familial hypercholesterolemia.
This study tests a “reach everyone” approach in primary care clinics to improve care for people with familial hypercholesterolemia (families with very high cholesterol). It may help families get recognized sooner and get the right follow-up.
This trial helps people with high cholesterol or a history of heart disease find the best treatment to lower their risk of future heart problems. It tests a program to optimize lipid-lowering therapy.
This trial is about helping families with familial hypercholesterolemia (a genetic condition that causes very high cholesterol) get screened. It tests a way to reach close relatives so they can learn their risk and consider next steps.
