New publication from the EAS-LIPRA Project
The latest publication from the EAS-LIPRA initiative highlights a major step forward in shaping the future of cardiovascular research in Africa. Despite a population of over 1.5 billion, lipidology and preventive cardiology research from the continent remains limited. To address this, EAS-LIPRA conducted a Delphi survey with African clinical experts to identify priority research areas.
The result? 42 key research questions that will serve as a roadmap for meaningful, locally relevant studies in lipid disorders and cardiovascular disease.
Key topics include:
- Prevalence and distribution of lipid disorders
- Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)
- Acute coronary syndrome (ACS)
- The urgent need for region-specific risk assessment tools
This publication provides critical direction for education, research, and funding across underrepresented regions — with global relevance.
