Overview
Hyperlipidemia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases. While lifestyle is a contributing factor to cardiovascular disease and elevated lipids, in other incidences, emerging research has linked it to genetics. Providers knowledge of the guidelines has been suboptimal. The aim of this course is to provide guidance to healthcare professionals in the evaluation and management of various lipid disorders.
Topics will Include
Pathophysiology, laboratory evaluation, risk assessment, primary prevention, and an introduction to the genetic component of hyperlipidemia. This program was designed to prepare the participant to utilize the latest clinical guidelines in practice as well as prepare for the clinical lipid specialist examination.
