About

Hypercholesterolemia is recognized as the major driver for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. To help address this in our community, Atlantic Medical Group (AMG) formed a lipid workgroup chaired by Robert D. Fishberg, MD, and Jeffrey N. Feldman, MD. The overarching goal of the lipid workgroup is to enhance the treatment of lipid disorders in those patients with abnormal lipid levels by improving access to resources at the primary care practice level and specialty level. We aim to develop a model for primary and secondary prevention that integrates guidelines for treatment at the practice level. Our primary objective is to identify high-risk patients by utilizing the electronic health record and partnering with patients' primary care providers to provide comprehensive medical management.

Full description

This study will screen patients with LDL-C >160 mg/dL and with evidence of familial hypertension, reach out (using secure chat) to the attending practitioner of such patients and inform the practitioner of our comprehensive services to address FH. A study team member will inform the practitioner that one of the study team plans to reach out to their patient to inform the patient of the study. Unless one of the study team receives notification by the practitioner that they want to opt out of this service for their patients, and do not want further interaction, the patient will be informed of the study and the consent process.

The research question is: Will an innovative comprehensive outreach approach, in conjunction with the primary care provider, reduce LDL-C levels in individuals with familial hypercholesteremia below individual baseline values, ideally at a level at or below 100 mg/dL.
