Since the publication of the 2018 guidelines for the management of blood cholesterol, the development of new recommendations and the availability of new therapeutic agents have impacted the management of dyslipidemia. The first session of this program will review current therapy recommendations according to the most recent guidelines, including a review of the evidence suggesting that decreased low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels should be targeted for patients at increased risk of cardiovascular events. It will also discuss evidence supporting the use of novel, non-statin therapies and their place in therapy. The second portion of the program will involve a pro-con debate that will review the application of new and existing medications that may have a role in reaching lower LDL-C targets to a series of patient cases.
