Patient and Provider Assessment of Lipid Management Registry

Completed

Conditions studied: Hyperlipidemia, Hypercholesterolemia, Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes, Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD), Hypertension, Smoking, Myocardial Infarction (MI), Unstable Angina, Angina, Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), Stroke, Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA), Carotid Stenosis, Peripheral Arterial Disease, Atherosclerosis, Claudication

In brief

The purpose of the Patient and Provider Assessment of Lipid Management Registry (PALM) is to gain a better understanding of physicians' cholesterol medication prescribing practices, patient and physician attitudes and beliefs related to cholesterol management, and current utilization of cholesterol-lowering therapies given the new ACC/AHA guideline recommendations. The PALM Registry hopes to allow for the design of ways to improve cholesterol management and decrease the burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the US.
