Featured Open Lecture: March-April, 2024

This month’s EAS open lecture aligns with the webinar on Women & Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). In light of this, we are pleased to present a lecture on this topic by Prof. Lale Tokgözoğlu, originally delivered at the EAS Congress in 2021.

Prof. Tokgözoğlu is a Professor of Cardiology at Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey. In this lecture entitled “From risk factors to acute coronary syndrome in women,” she enlightens us on the differences in cardiovascular risk between men and women. To this end, she dives into epidemiology, risk, and psychosocial factors, hormonal and lifestyle differences leading to sex disparities in CVD presentation and management.

Certificate in Lipidology for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals is now available!

Certificate in Lipidology for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals is now available! We designed this course in response to the challenges faced by nurses and healthcare professionals in lipid clinics, addressing various aspects of atherosclerotic vascular disease in their day-to-day practice.

This programme will help you tackle these challenges, to better identify, help and support those in your care who are at high cardiovascular risk. By increasing your understanding of lipid disorders and cardiovascular risk evaluation, and by improving your skills in providing advice and support to patients on questions of lifestyle and adherence to therapy, taking this course will help you manage your patients and contribute to your clinic’s ability to provide patient-centred care.

The course includes practical tips and advice on management of patients with atherosclerotic vascular disease and inherited lipid disorders, with contributions from clinical practitioners and research experts, from nurses, and from patients themselves.
