Education:

Join our EAS-LatAm webinar and discover best practices from Europe and Latin America!

Long-term adherence to lipid-lowering therapy poses one of the greatest challenges in cardiovascular prevention. The effectiveness of therapy heavily depends on the individualization of medical treatment, the identification and resolution of barriers that prevent full treatment adoption, and the implementation of best practices in medical services. Cultural issues and peculiarities of care delivery systems hinder the universal application of the same strategies.

This symposium will review the variability in the effectiveness of lipid-lowering therapy worldwide. Experts will present examples of best practices implemented in Europe and Latin America.

EAS launches Indian Lipidology Masterclass with President-Elect Børge Nordestgaard to enhance CVD prevention

EAS is proud to announce the involvement of President-Elect Børge Nordestgaard in our Indian EAS Lipidology Masterclass program, in collaboration with Mediquest, an Indian healthcare communication company.

In Level 1 of the program, Prof. Nordestgaard has begun training 14 Indian cardiology mentors with a special focus on lipidology. The goal is to equip these mentors with the latest knowledge on preventing cardiovascular disease through the diagnosis and treatment of lipid disorders, tailored specifically to the Indian healthcare context. Together, Prof. Nordestgaard and the 14 mentors are developing a comprehensive slide deck to aid Indian doctors in treating patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease or those at high risk.

In Level 2, these 14 cardiology specialists will expand their training to reach an additional 150 specialists across India.

In Level 3, those 150 specialists will then train another 1,500 doctors on how to prevent atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease through lipid-lowering therapies. This cascading model of training is designed to have a significant impact on the prevention of cardiovascular disease throughout India.
