Lipid Manager

Lipid Manager is a clinical decision support app designed to help healthcare providers manage patients' cholesterol and triglyceride levels while reducing cardiovascular disease risk. Built on evidence-based guidelines, this tool streamlines treatment decisions from initial therapy selection through ongoing management adjustments.

The app includes three integrated clinical tools to support comprehensive lipid management. The LDL-C Lowering Therapy tool guides clinicians through evidence-based options, helping determine which lipid-lowering therapies are most appropriate and the optimal treatment sequence for individual patients. For patients who experience statin intolerance, the dedicated Statin Intolerance tool provides a systematic evaluation process and helps identify suitable alternative therapies and next steps in care.

The Hypertriglyceridemia tool offers tailored consensus recommendations for patients with persistently elevated triglycerides at high cardiovascular risk. It covers both lifestyle interventions and pharmacological management options, ensuring clinicians have access to comprehensive guidance for complex cases.

Developed by the American College of Cardiology Foundation with independent clinical expertise, Lipid Manager provides evidence-based recommendations to support clinical decision-making. The app complements—rather than replaces—direct patient-provider discussions about treatment options and individual clinical judgment. Each patient's care plan should be determined collaboratively between the healthcare provider and patient based on their unique circumstances.

Lipid Manager empowers clinicians with structured, guideline-concordant decision support to optimize lipid management and reduce cardiovascular risk across diverse patient populations.
