Reduction in LDL‐C by Baseline LDL‐C
| Baseline LDL‐C, mg/dL | Number of users reduced LDL‐C, n (%) | Baseline LDL‐C, mean (SEM) | Follow up LDL‐C, mean (SEM) | Mean reduction (SEM) | Percent reduction, mean (SEM) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overall | 665 (52.6) | 106 (1.0) | 101 (1.0) | −26.1 (1.2) | −20.8 (0.7) |
| LDL‐C <100 | 255 (42.9) | 75.9 (0.7) | 80.6 (1.1) | −13.4 (0.7) | −17.3 (0.9) |
| LDL‐C 100–159 | 331 (58) | 125 (0.7) | 117 (1.3) | −26.2 (1.2) | −20.3 (0.9) |
| LDL‐C 160 to–189 | 54 (79.4) | 172 (1.1) | 133 (4.8) | −52.3 (4.7) | −30.1 (2.7) |
| LDL‐C ≥190 | 25 (80.6) | 214 (7.0) | 140 (11.4) | −97.6 (15.3) | −42.9 (4.8) |
| LDL‐C ≥160 | 79 (79.8) | 185 (3.0) | 135 (4.8) | −66.6 (6.2) | −34.2 (2.5) |
Negative value represents reduction in LDL‐C. Baseline LDL‐C, follow‐up LDL‐C, and mean reduction values are reported in units of mg/dL. A total of 22.2% of users achieved reduction to LDL‐C <70 mg/dL. The cholesterol cohort was composed predominantly (>90%) of users who imported cholesterol values from a connected electronic health record. Hello Heart has since launched an easier way to connect electronic health records. LDL‐C indicates low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol.
