Understanding Cholesterol Guidelines and Implementing Non-statins in High-Risk Populations: Paired Conversations and Case Vignettes

Overview / Abstract:	An interprofessional faculty of primary care and specialty clinicians discuss real-world issues in managing patients with complex and challenging dyslipidemia, including elevated lipoprotein a (Lp(a)). Several paired conversations serve as the foundation for discussions related to recent cholesterol guidelines, patient risk stratification, and recommended goals for patients at risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Two case vignettes provide the basis for robust discussion among the faculty, which centers around clinical decision-making and the roles, benefits, and limitations of approved and investigational pharmacologic treatment options. The 1.5-hour program format fosters critical thinking and application of key concepts to patient cases, enabling participants to advance their clinical practice.
