First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a digital heart health program (a web app, online classes, and special foods) added to usual care can lower cholesterol and reduce heart attacks in people with heart disease or risk factors. About 1,100 participants will be randomly assigned to the program or usual care alone and followed for up to 7 years. The goal is to see if technology can help doctors provide better nutrition support and improve heart health.
