OVERVIEW

Patient-focused Low-density Lipoprotein (LDL-C) Management and Risk Reduction in Clinical Practice: The Utility of Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin type 9 (PCSK9) Inhibitors is organized by Tarsus CNS.

Program Description:
During this comprehensive learning experience, expert faculty will examine current lipid guidelines, the unmet need and residual risk of poorly controlled LDL-C, and exciting genetic insights that have expanded treatment targets. Participants will leave with the latest information on novel LDL lowering therapies, including PCSK9 inhibitors. Clinical case examples will provide tactics for treatment intensification and how best to integrate new therapies into management plans for high-risk patients.
Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
• Identify patient populations at high residual risk of CVD, despite statin therapy, particularly those with FH, ASCVD, or statin intolerance
• Assess the genetic basis and mechanistic rationale for lowering LDL-C through novel pathways, and the importance of LDL receptor recycling in cholesterol homeostasis.
• Review the latest clinical trial data and physiologic rationale for the practicalities of administration and patient selection.

Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
