How high cholesterol is treated in high-risk patients
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have high cholesterol (including familial hypercholesterolemia) or you are at high, very high, or extreme risk for heart disease.
- Your first visit for this study happens within a 6-month window.
- Your high cholesterol is not mainly caused by another condition, such as very high triglycerides.
- Your cholesterol treatment has not been changed recently due to reasons other than high cholesterol.

This is a study that follows people with a genetic form of very high cholesterol (familial hypercholesterolemia) and their close relatives. It aims to better understand this condition in real families and how it affects health over time.
This study aims to find and help people with very high cholesterol, which can run in families. If you or your child have high cholesterol, this study may help you understand your risk and get the right care.
This trial focuses on people with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), an inherited condition that causes very high cholesterol. It aims to better understand and manage severe cholesterol problems that raise heart risk, especially in families.
This study looks at children who may have inherited high cholesterol, especially when one parent is affected. It may help doctors detect the condition earlier and understand how it runs in families.
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 trial tests whether a program of high-intensity interval training can help people with familial hypercholesterolemia (an inherited condition that causes very high cholesterol). It aims to see if exercise can improve cholesterol levels and heart health.
