#3 Triglyceride-rich lipoproteins as contributors to residual risk
September 5, 2024 at 18:00 CET
Language: English and Spanish
There have long been debates regarding the atherogenic role of triglyceride-rich lipoproteins (TRL) and whether mild or moderate increases should be addressed pharmacologically. While not all the mechanisms explaining the residual risk are known, TRLs are believed to play a significant role. Gaining a better understanding of the effects of TRL on the atherosclerotic process is crucial for enhancing our knowledge of how to manage hypertriglyceridemia.

#4 How to improve the quality of care for patients with dyslipidemia?
December 11, 2024 at 20:00 CET
Language: English and Spanish
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 feature a review of the variability in the effectiveness of lipid-lowering therapy around the world. Additionally, examples of best practices implemented in Europe and Latin America will be described. All presentations will be given by highly recognized leaders in the field, representing the European Atherosclerosis Society and the EAS LATAM group.
