Are you interested in the role of TRLs in atherosclerosis? Join us for our third EAS-LatAm webinar
![](https://eas-society.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/LatAm_webinar3-1024x576.png)
As previously mentioned, the third webinar in our series is fast approaching. We invite you to join us for a comprehensive discussion on the atherogenic role of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRLs) and the ongoing debate about whether mild or moderate increases in TRLs should be managed pharmacologically. Although the mechanisms behind residual risk are not yet fully understood, TRLs are considered to play a significant role. This session will deepen our understanding of TRL impacts on the atherosclerotic process and explore effective strategies for managing hypertriglyceridemia.
Thank you for your continued interest. We look forward to your participation in this upcoming webinar.
