About
The EAS Lipid Clinic Network (EAS-LCN) is an international collaborative network that brings together lipid clinics and specialty healthcare professionals involved in the prevention, diagnosis, and management of lipid disorders. The network aims to support high-quality, equitable care for patients with lipid disorders, globally, through harmonisation, education, and knowledge exchange.
Aims of EAS Lipid Clinic Network
Reduction in the societal burden of ASCVD by improving diagnosis and management of lipid disorders in the lipid clinic, through:
- Agreed common definition of a lipid clinic
- Standard procedures for diagnosis & treatment of lipid disorders, and future ASCVD risk, aligned with, but not restricted to, current European Guidelines on management of dyslipidaemias and the goals of the EU Safe Hearts Plan
- Harmonized national and international standards for procedures and processes in the clinic
- Establish performance standards, metrics with the aim of improving lipid management and thus ASCVD risk
- Globally accepted public health policies regarding screening, diagnosis and treatment of lipid disorders
- Promoting awareness among policy makers within governments and national healthcare systems of the individual and societal benefits – and reduced costs – of improving prevention of ASCVD by improved management of lipids and lipid disorders
- Drive support for national research to demonstrate care and/or implementation gaps and educational programmes and reimbursement of therapies dedicated to patients with lipid disorders
