NCT ID NCT07412457
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will test a new computer program designed to help doctors make better decisions for patients with high cholesterol and heart disease. Researchers will review the medical records of 500 adults and compare the program's recommendations to what doctors actually prescribed. The goal is to see if the tool can reduce mistakes in assessing heart risk and choosing the right medication.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
The data of 500 patients will be structured and entered into an electronic form, which serves as the basis for a clinical decision support system implemented in the form of a decision tree algorithm. This system will be used exclusively for analytical purposes and make it possible to determine the indications for prescribing lipid-lowering therapy, its recommended intensity, and the need to adjust drug doses in accordance with current clinical guidelines.
