Heart patients get smarter cholesterol care with Algorithm-Guided team approach
NCT ID NCT07334834
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a team of healthcare professionals using a special algorithm can lower 'bad' cholesterol (LDL-C) more effectively than standard care in people with heart or blood vessel disease. About 100 adults with high cholesterol and known vascular disease will be randomly assigned to either the team-based approach or usual care. The goal is to see if this organized strategy helps more patients reach healthier cholesterol levels.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Algorithm- and multi-professional team-supported lipid management
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a practical, team-based strategy to help more patients achieve healthier cholesterol levels and reduce heart disease risk.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study (100 participants) focused on implementation, not a large trial testing a new drug. Results may not apply to all patients or settings.

Inclusion Criteria: * Provided informed consent * Age \>18 years inclusive at screening * Documented atherosclerotic vascular disease including: * Coronary artery disease (prior revascularization, myocardial infarction, imaging evidence of coronary atherosclerosis) * Peripheral artery disease (prior revascularization, amputation, ankle: brachial index (ABI) ≤ 0.90, imaging evidence of extra-coronary atherosclerosis) * Carotid artery disease (prior endarterectomy or stenting of the extracranial carotid artery or imaging evidence of carotid atherosclerosis) * Imaging evidence of atherosclerotic vascular disease in a non-coronary vascular bed (e.g. aorta, mesenteric, renal) * LDL-C \>70mg/dL Exclusion Criteria: * Any reason that, in the opinion of the investigator, the patient would be unable to adhere to the protocol for the duration of the study (e.g. terminal diagnosis, metastatic cancer) or in whom participation might result in harm. * Planned active titration of current lipid-lowering therapy * Myocardial infarction or arterial revascularization within prior 30 days
