Better cholesterol control for high-risk patients
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part

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 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 an educational program to help people understand and lower their LDL ('bad') cholesterol after a heart-related event. It aims to improve awareness and encourage the use of cholesterol-lowering treatments.
This trial compares two very low LDL-cholesterol targets (below 1.0 vs 1.0-1.39 mmol/L) using extra medications (PCSK9 inhibitors) to see which is safer and better for people at extremely high risk of heart attacks or strokes.
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 trial compares different LDL cholesterol targets to find the best level for people at very high risk after a heart stent procedure. It tests whether aiming for a lower cholesterol goal improves outcomes.
