As a pharmacist, you are in a unique position of responsibility in the fight against heart disease and diabetes. Cholestech's Systems place the power of early detection and disease management in your pharmacy. And that's good news, because the Project ImPACT: Hyperlipidemia study has shown that pharmacists can double compliance rates and help customers to achieve target lipid levels by adding on-site testing. In fact...

• 94% of patients tested with the Cholestech LDX^® System persisted with therapy over 25 months, compared to 40% persistence rates reported in medical literature.¹
• 63% of patients met NCEP treatment goals compared with 8% to 33% in prior studies. ¹
