Lipid lowering in a multidisciplinary clinic compared with primary physician management

The American Journal of Cardiology
D E HarrisT A Pearson

Abstract

A multidisciplinary lipid reduction clinic achieved greater reduction of serum cholesterol when compared with primary physicians among patients with coronary heart disease. The lipid clinic was more likely than the primary physicians to prescribe lipid-lowering medication, to prescribe multiple medications, and to use drug doses in excess of the "starting dose."
