Program Overview:
This program will focus on the evidence with, and use of, non-statin therapies for LDL-C lowering in the settings of primary and secondary prevention. An interpretation of recently presented and published secondary analyses from cardiovascular outcome trials with non-statin agents will provide lipid specialists with a more comprehensive evaluation of the efficacy and safety of non-statin therapy in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Attendees will also receive an expert assessment of non-statin therapy for primary prevention. Four interactive challenging cases for lipid specialists with “real-world” patients will enable faculty members to describe best management strategies.

Educational Objectives: 
Upon completion of this program, attendees should be able to:
  • Explain the data from clinical studies with non-statin therapies for LDL-C lowering in primary and
         secondary prevention patient populations.
  • Describe the roles for PCSK9 inhibitors and ezetimibe based on clinical trial evidence.
  • Identify multiple factors in selecting non-statin therapy for lowering LDL-C.
  • Recognize updated treatment recommendations for non-statin therapies in clinical practice guidelines.
  • Discuss strategies to improve the knowledge, skills or performance of the healthcare team.
