Dyslipidemia is the imbalance of lipids such as cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, (LDL-C), triglycerides, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL), resulting from diet, tobacco and alcohol use, sedentary lifestyle, or genetic factors such as familial hypercholesterolemia. It is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease and may contribute to severe complications.

During a recent virtual webinar, Cardiometabolic Health Congress faculty member and co-chair of the Women’s Cardiometabolic Health and Wellness Masterclass, Erin D. Michos, MD, took
Residual Risk: Beyond LDL-C Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remains the leading cause of death in the United States, and its prevention and treatment continue to
Watch Dr. Ballantyne and Dr. Michos discuss key trials in lipid lowering presented at 2023 ACC, including CLEAR Outcomes with bempedoic acid, a phase 2 trial with oral PCSK9 inhibitor MK-0616, as well as their potential implications. Recorded March 10, 2023
Watch Drs. Ballantyne, Taub, and Virani discuss some practical pearls about the optimization of lipid-lowering therapy in patients with a recent MI or an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event. They discuss suboptimal LDL-C levels in these patients, reasons for these gaps, and how to lower LDL-C levels early and effectively with evidence-based therapies in order to minimize the risk of recurrent events. (Recorded June 20, 2022).Â
Watch Drs. Ballantyne, Michos, and Saseen discuss some practical pearls about recent developments in LDL-C lowering. They discussed combination therapy and constantly evolving lipid therapy, including data about monoclonals, and siRNA, also presented at 2022 AHA meeting. Recorded on Dec. 14, 2022.
CMHC Chairs Christie Ballantyne, MD and Robert Eckel, MD, as well as CMHC faculty Matthew Budoff, MD recap the lipid sessions presented at the 16th Annual CMHC, including perspectives and clinical pearls on ASCVD risk assessment, residual ASCVD risk, and ASCVD management and prevention.
Watch Drs. Taub, Desai, and Shapiro discuss some additional perspectives on the management of very high-risk, including:
ASCVD = atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; | HTG = hypertriglyceridemia; | siRNA = small interfering RNA | ASCVD = atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; | CVD = cardiovascular disease | HeFH = heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia | HoFH = homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia | HTG = hypertriglyceridemia | Lp(a) = lipoprotein (a); | PCSK9 = Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 interfering RNA | siRNA = small;
