Genetically Guided Statin Therapy to Improve Medication Adherence
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating SLCO1B1*5 allele testing, results reported at randomization, SLCO1B1*5 allele testing, results reported at end of study, and 1 other intervention for Hypercholesterolemia and Hydroxy-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG Co-A) Reductase Inhibitors Adverse Reaction. Completed, enrolled 167 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine if using genetics can improve statin adherence in patients who should be taking statins but are not because of prior side effects. This study will assist physicians/providers in making a personalized health care plan for prevention of cardiovascular disease.
