Brief summary
Intensive Lipid-Lowering Therapy guided by a cloud-based Software System (CLIMEDO GmbH) improves (European Society of Cardiolofgy/European Atherosclerosis Society) ESC/EAS-guideline recommended LDL-cholesterol target attainment and adherence in patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial (STEMI) and Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarctions (NSTEMI).
Detailed description
Patients admitted to the Jena University Hospital (UKS) and 9 other University hospitals in Germany with an ST-elevation or Non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) will be randomized to standard care or a software-based tool (CLIMEDO GmbH) to monitor low-density cholesterol (LDL-C) levels and close follow-ups to achieve ESC/EAS-guideline recommended LDL-C goals. In this multi-center, prospective, randomized, interventional trial we propose that using a cloud-based software system (CLIMEDO GmbH) is superior to standard care in terms of LDL-C target attainment at 6 months and adherence over a time period of 12 months. In the software group LDL-C levels will be monitored on admission, after 1,6, 12, 16, 20 weeks and after 6, 12 and 24 months. In the standard care group patients' LDL-C levels will be determined on admission after 6, 12 and 24 months. The primary endpoint is LDL-C target attainment at 6 months in both groups.
