Measure
No Self Monitoring Device
Standard or usual care of high LDL including lab lipid profiles after treatment with statin therapy. No device or telemedicine education will be provided
Self Monitoring Lipid Analyzer
Self measured blood lipids using a home lipidometer, and telephone reporting of data to the clinical center. Self Monitoring Lipid Analyzer: The device is similar to a glucometer- Utilizing a lancet a small amount of blood is collected in a capillary tube and placed on a hand held monitor that records lipid values.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 weeks

Population: No self monitoring group had LDL levels only at baseline and 6 months.

Participant in the self monitored arm reported LDL every two weeks. LDL goal for treatment was 100 mg/dl and subjects were followed every two weeks to observe mean LDL values.
