Table 3 Summary of BP control and lipid management in included studies

From: Pharmacist care and the management of coronary heart disease: a systematic review of randomized controlled trials

Source

Target for BP or lipid management

Outcome

The MEDMAN study [15], 2007

BP: < 140/85 mmHg

No significant difference

Faulkner [16], 2000

LDL-C: ≤ 100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L)

No significant difference at 6 or 12 weeks

More patients achieved target in intervention than in control at 1 and 2 years (P < 0.05)

Olson [17], 2009

LDL-C and non-HDL-C: < 100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L) and < 130 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) for all patients, < 70 mg/dL (1.8 mmol/L) and < 100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L) for patients with diabetes, multivessel coronary disease, at least 1 recurrent coronary event, or current smokers

No significant difference in maintaining LDL-C and non-HDL-C goal, and BP goal of < 130 mmHg

BP: < 140/90 mmHg for all patients, <130/80 mmHg for patients with diabetes or CKD

More patients maintained a BP goal of < 140 mmHg in intervention than in control (P = 0.03)

Straka [18], 2005

LDL-C: ≤ 100 mg/dL (2.6 mmol/L)

More patients achieved LDL-C goal in intervention than in control at 6.5 months and the following 18 months (P < 0.001)
