Lipid Manager

Description

The ACC Lipid Manager app (formerly LDL-C Manager) provides four clinical decision support tools in one app to help clinicians manage a patient’s triglycerides and LDL-C from therapy initiation through treatment calibration with the goal of lowering ASCVD risk:
- ASCVD Risk Estimator: Calculate pretreatment ASCVD risk and determine the appropriateness of statin therapy for the patient
- LDL-C Lowering Therapy tool: Assess response to a statin, and determine if other therapies should be considered and in what order
- Statin Intolerance tool: Evaluate the patient for possible statin intolerance, and determine appropriate next steps
- Hypertriglyceridemia tool: Use the app to see tailored consensus recommendations for both lifestyle intervention and pharmacological management of high-risk patients with persistent hypertriglyceridemia
The information and recommendations in this clinical decision support app are not meant to represent the only or best course of care nor replace clinical judgement. Therapeutic options should be determined after discussion between the patient and their care provider.
