Results from a practice-based lipid clinic model in achieving low density lipoprotein cholesterol goals.

Objective: Lipid clinic models that combine diet and drug therapy have shown significantly better hyperlipidemia management than usual care. The objective is to demonstrate that such a model can be established and utilized in a primary care practice, replicating the results obtained in specialty clinic settings.

Design: This study evaluated a "lipid clinic" model for cholesterol management in a primary care setting.
