摘　　要：Background Coronary heart disease （CHD） has become the third leading cause of death among Chinese adults. It is acknowledged that cholesterol has a strong relation with CHD. However, at present it is not clear which nurse-based health education strategies are effective in helping reduce serum cholesterol levels for patients with CHD. Methods A recta-analysis study was used to locate evidence supporting the effective health educa- tion methods for lowering cholesterol level in patients with CHD. Results In total, eight studies met the inclusion criteria. Telehealth education method reduced total cholesterol by 0.33 mmol/L, while consulting health education strategy helped to reduce total cholesterol by 0.41 mmol/L. Conclusions Nurse-based health education strategies using counselling sessions and telephone help to lower serum cholesterol level for patients with CHD. Future studies need to be conducted on the cost-effectiveness of this approach.Background Coronary heart disease （CHD） has become the third leading cause of death among Chinese adults.
