Consented Arm
Subjects with a recent (within 18 months) hospitalization for myocardial infarction, unstable angina, ischemic stroke, or critical limb ischemia, and subjects undergoing coronary, peripheral, or carotid revascularization, including surgical and percutaneous revascularization, with an LDL-C greater than or equal to 70 mg/dL who may be eligible for PCSK9 inhibitor therapy.
|
Electronic Health Record (EHR) arm
Subjects with an inpatient or outpatient diagnosis of clinical ASCVD within the prior 12 months including coronary heart disease, ischemic cerebrovascular disease, atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease, or prior coronary or peripheral or carotid revascularization.

- Incident event rate for the composite of all-cause mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction (MI), and non-fatal ischemic stroke (IS). [ Time Frame: Through study completion, a minimum of 4.5 years and maximum of 5 years ]Number of incident all-cause deaths, non-fatal MI, and non-fatal IS events (whichever occurs first) divided by the person-time at risk
- Incident event rate for all-cause mortality [ Time Frame: Through study completion, a minimum of 4.5 years and maximum of 5 years ]Number of all-cause deaths divided by the person-time at risk
- Incident event rate for non-fatal MI [ Time Frame: Through study completion, a minimum of 4.5 years and maximum of 5 years ]Number of incident non-fatal MI events divided by the person-time at risk
- Incident event rate for non-fatal IS [ Time Frame: Through study completion, a minimum of 4.5 years and maximum of 5 years ]Number incident non-fatal IS events divided by the person-time at risk
- Incident rate of coronary or peripheral or carotid revascularication procedures [ Time Frame: Through study completion, a minimum of 4.5 years and maximum of 5 years ]Number of incident coronary or peripherial or carotid revascularization procedures
- Incident event rate for major adverse limb events (MALE) including amputation [ Time Frame: Through study completion, a minimum of 4.5 years and maximum of 5 years ]Number of incident MALE events divided by the person-time at risk. MALE is defined as the composite of ALI, major amputation (above the knee or below the knee, excluding forefoot or toe), or urgent revascularization (thrombolysis or urgent vascular intervention for ischemia).
- Incident event rate for cardiovascular death [ Time Frame: Through study completion, a minimum of 4.5 years and maximum of 5 years ]Number of cardiovascular deaths divided by the person-time at risk
- Incident event rate for transient ischemic attack (TIA) [ Time Frame: Through study completion, a minimum of 4.5 years and maximum of 5 years ]Number of incident TIA events divided by the person-time at risk
- Incident event rate for unstable angina (UA) [ Time Frame: Through study completion, a minimum of 4.5 years and maximum of 5 years ]Number of incident UA events divided by the person-time at risk
- Longitudinal patterns of lipid control, use of and persistence with lipid lowering therapies (LLT) including statins, ezetimibe, and PCSK9 inhibitors [ Time Frame: Through study completion, a minimum of 4.5 years and maximum of 5 years ]Describe patterns of lipid control and LLT's over time
- The strengths and limitations of data harvested directly from electronic health record (EHR) systems as compared with prospectively collected information [ Time Frame: Through study completion, a minimum of 4.5 years and maximum of 5 years ]Describe and compare clinical characteristics, ASCVD events, patterns of lipid control, and use of LLT's assessed via prospective data collection to those captured directly via an EHR data harvest.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 40 Years to 99 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
Subjects with a recent ASCVD event or coronary, peripherial or carotid revascularization (in the prior 18 months).
All subjects must have an LDL-C >=70 mg/dL or have initiated a PCSK9 inhibitor in the 6 months prior to enrollment.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adults age ≥ 40 years
-
One or both of the following:
- Hospitalization for a clinical ASCVD event: acute (MI), UA, IS, or critical limb ischemia (CLI) within 18 months of enrollment NOTE: subjects must have been admitted to the hospital. Those who are admitted and discharged in less than 24 hours are eligible for the study. Subjects who have been admitted to the ER for a clinical ASCVD event and not admitted to the hospital are not eligible for enrollment.
- Coronary, peripheral, or carotid revascularization including percutaneous or surgical revascularization in the past 18 months Note: Revascularization procedures can occur in the inpatient or outpatient setting.
-
One of the following:
- Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) ≥ 70 mg/dL (1.81 mmol/L) with no plans for immediate initiation or titration of statin therapy (Note: Subjects should not be enrolled into study during initiation/titration of statins until they have a stable LDL-C measurement > 4 weeks after their last statin change and no immediate plans for future titration).
- Newly started on PCSK9i after the index hospitalization/procedure and prior to enrollment (but no more than 6 months prior to enrollment) with pre-PCSK9i treatment LDL-C value available and known background LLT any time prior to PCSK9i initiation.
- Planned follow-up within the health system.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Unable or unwilling to provide informed consent, including but not limited to cognitive or language barriers (reading or comprehension)
- Lack of phone or email for contact
- Evidence of end stage renal disease (ESRD) or stage 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD)
- Anticipated life expectancy less than 6 months
- On a PCSK9i prior to their qualifying event; Note: Subjects with prior PCSK9i use occurring and ending before the 12-month period prior to enrollment and before the index ASCVD event will be considered for inclusion.
EHR Arm Criteria:
Subjects are eligible to be included in the "EHR arm" of the registry if they are:
- Adults age ≥ 40 years of age
-
Have at least 1 inpatient or outpatient diagnosis of clinical ASCVD within 12 months prior to enrollment including CHD, ischemic cerebrovascular disease, atherosclerotic PAD, or prior coronary or peripheral or carotid revascularization.
- No exclusion criteria will be applied.
