This trial tests a new drug called HS-10582 in healthy people and those with slightly high LDL cholesterol (a type of cholesterol). The goal is to see if it is safe and how well your body handles it.
This trial tests if a computer-based tool helps doctors follow guidelines for managing dyslipidemia (high cholesterol or fats in the blood). You may join if you have enough medical data available and agree to participate.
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 tests whether an educational app can help people who have had a recent heart attack or similar event understand the importance of lowering their LDL (bad) cholesterol early. It may help you take the right steps after discharge to prevent future heart problems.
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 looks at whether taking a low- to moderate-dose statin can prevent first-time heart and stroke problems in people age 70 and older. It may help you lower “bad cholesterol” (LDL) and see if that leads to fewer heart events over time.
