NCT01212159

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate that systematic self measurement of blood lipids reduces LDL cholesterol more effectively than standard care. The hypothesis is that cholesterol lowering medication adherence will be improved with self monitoring and reporting of frequent blood lipids and the percentage of patients achieving LDL goal will be greater than without home monitoring.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • LDL Level Change From Baseline

    Comparison of serum LDL level between control and intervention subjects

    baseline to 6 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Medication Compliance

    6 months

  • LDL Values at Two Week Interval

    6 weeks

Study Arms (2)

No self monitoring device

NO INTERVENTION

Standard or usual care of high LDL including lab lipid profiles after treatment with statin therapy. No device or telemedicine education will be provided

Self Monitoring Lipid Analyzer

EXPERIMENTAL

Self measured blood lipids using a home lipidometer, and telephone reporting of data to the clinical center.

Device: Self Monitoring Lipid Analyzer

Interventions

The device is similar to a glucometer- Utilizing a lancet a small amount of blood is collected in a capillary tube and placed on a hand held monitor that records lipid values.

Also known as: Cardiochek
Self Monitoring Lipid Analyzer
