EAS Rare Lipid Disorder Courses 2023
While the prevalence of each individual Rare Lipid Disorder is low, collectively they are important and the busy specialized practitioner will encounter patients with these conditions. Lipidologists need to be familiar with their diagnosis and treatment as they may be associated with high morbidity and mortality. EAS run Rare Lipid Disorder Courses to improve recognition and understanding in this. The courses’ objectives are to review practical aspects of evaluation and management, and to describe real clinical cases of these disorders.
The programme of Rare Lipid Disorder courses held during 2023 is now available on the website.
