Cardiovascular Risk Left Behind: An Interactive Exploration of Triglyceride-Rich Remnant Lipoproteins

TARGET AUDIENCE:

This curriculum and corresponding interventions are designed for Internists, Primary Care Physicians, Family Medicine, Cardiologists, Endocrinologists, Lipid Specialists, Nurse Practitioners, Advanced Practice Nurses, and/or Physicians Assistants, Pharmacists who are involved in the care and treatment of patients with ASCVD.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW:

Join us for this 1-hour interactive online activity with an in-clinic reference guide aimed at providing clinicians with a comprehensive overview of approaches to residual cardiovascular risk reduction in high-risk patients with maximally controlled LDL-cholesterol. This highly interactive activity contains animations, mock patient charts, and interactivity learning.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:  

• Discuss the mechanism and cause of triglyceride-rich remnant lipoproteins. 
• Demonstrate effective cardiovascular risk assessment and shared decision-making with high-risk patients with controlled LDL-cholesterol.
• Identify in which patients triglyceride-rich lipoproteins may be the primary treatment target
• Outline appropriate therapy options for high CVD risk patients with elevated triglyceride levels
• Discuss strategies to improve the knowledge, skills or performance of the healthcare team
