Collecting real-life high-quality data about the experiences, decisions and perspectives of individuals diagnosed with high LDL-C (low density lipoprotein cholesterol) is the focus of Global Heart Hub’s new multi-national Insights from Patients living with Elevated Cholesterol (IPEC) research initiative.

IPEC is led by Global Heart Hub, with the support of WomenHeart, USA; Lado A Lado Pela Vida, Brazil; hearts4heart, Australia and the cardiovascular patient community.

Findings from IPEC have been submitted to key congresses around the world for visibility among decision makers, policy makers and physicians.

Supported by the findings from IPEC, the global cardiovascular patient community is positioning itself to take part in future conversations around LDL-C management strategies.

The IPEC data generation program is a pillar of Invisible Nation, Global Heart Hub’s advocacy program created to bring attention to the more than 500 million people worldwide at risk for an ASCVD-related heart attack, stroke or death¹.
