1. The Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease at Johns Hopkins has developed this app to provide automated calculation of LDL cholesterol by the method published by Martin and colleagues in the Journal of the American Medical Association (doi:10. 1001/jama. 2013. 280532).
2. Rather than the traditional one-size-fits-all approach of dividing triglycerides by a fixed factor, the Martin equation matches each person with a personalized factor to calculate the LDL cholesterol level.
3. For-profit companies or anyone intending to redisplay or incorporate the LDL-C calculator must secure a license from the Johns Hopkins University.
4. Martin and colleagues in the Johns Hopkins Ciccarone Center.
5. James, as well as Chris Doyle and Manar Alhamdy of the Tech Innovation Center at Johns Hopkins.
6. The method has been used extensively validated and recommended by major clinical guidelines, such as those of the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology.
7. The inputs are the three direct measures from the standard lipid profile: total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides.
8. The method for LDL-C calculation programmed into this app was developed through research by Dr. Seth S.
9. The results and recommendations provided by this application are intended to inform but do not replace clinical judgment.
10. This app was developed through collaboration of Dr. Martin with Dr. Ted W.
11. Therapeutic options should be individualized and determined after discussion between the patient and their clinician.
1. Ridiculous! It performs the basic math needed to spit out some numbers...which are useless to you unless there is some kind of meaning attached to the numbers and meaningful advice about what lifestyle changes are necessary to get better numbers.
2. I should be able to click on a result and get a pop up box that tells me if the number is high, low or neutral and what to do about it.Does not even open.
3. The splash screen fades and then nothing happens.Need more information.
