This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After a heart attack or cardiac procedure, many patients struggle to stay on track with cholesterol management once they leave the hospital. This trial is testing whether having a dedicated "care champion" — someone who helps guide you through your transition home and supports your cholesterol treatment plan — can help you reach and maintain healthier cholesterol levels. The study will compare patients who receive this extra support to patients who receive standard care.
Many patients who have had a heart attack don't achieve their cholesterol goals in the months after hospitalization, which puts them at risk for another cardiac event. This trial is designed to see whether providing patients with personalized support and education from a care champion can close that gap and help more people stay healthy.

If you're enrolled, you'll either receive standard care or be paired with a care champion who will contact you after you leave the hospital. Your care champion will help explain your cholesterol goals, answer questions about your treatment plan, schedule follow-up testing, and support you in reaching your health targets. You'll share information about your health at the start of the study, at 6 months, and at 8 months, either through your medical records or by answering questions from the research team. The study takes about 8 months total.
