About this trial
Patients who had an ASCVD event at an Intermountain hospital will be screened for eligibility to be randomized. Subjects who meet eligibility criteria will be randomized 1:1 to receive targeted care of their LDL-C through a pharmacist-driven management program or not. Patients may opt-out of receiving LDL-C management by the pharmacy team at any time. The purpose of this program is to increase the proportion of patients who achieve guideline-based recommendations of LDL-C levels of \<70 mg/dL by increasing statin and/or LLT adherence and LDL-C testing. Data collection as part of the study will continue until the last person randomized has had 1-year of follow-up.
