Abstract

Evaluating cardiovascular risk and managing hypercholesterolemia are essential components in the identification and treatment of coronary artery disease. A collaborative care-based lipid clinic is a beneficial part of an integrated prevention program and can result in improved lipid management. Advances in technology now enable use of the electronic medical record in combination with a virtual lipid clinic to promote superior cholesterol management.
