Digital tool aims to sharpen heart attack aftercare

NCT ID NCT05844566

Completed Disease control Sponsor: Imperial College London Source: ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Summary

This study tested whether giving doctors a computer-based decision support tool helps them better manage cholesterol in patients who recently had a heart attack. Over 1,100 patients were involved across different hospitals, with some hospitals using the tool and others providing standard care. Researchers compared how often doctors intensified cholesterol-lowering treatments and whether patients reached recommended cholesterol targets within 16 weeks.
