Description:
The level of sophistication and knowledge of lipidology is increasing in all medical specialties. While many physicians and medical specialists are gaining the knowledge to prevent and/or manage common lipid disorders, there is a growing need for those with greater interest and knowledge in the field to share ground-breaking research and explore controversial areas that may stimulate more sophisticated clinical care. This activity expands upon the requisite knowledge of lipid disorders and analyzes more complex diagnosis and treatment methods to manage complicated cases.

Objectives:
After attending this activity, the participant should be able to:
• Apply the latest sophisticated information from genetic disorders to the diagnosis and treatment of dyslipidemias
• Identify patients who are more likely to have a defect in the SR-B1 receptor as the basis for their elevated HDL
• Utilize information from the vascular biological basis of atherosclerosis to understand the pathogenesis of dyslipidemia and CVD
• Add the determination of hsCRP to clinical evaluation and treatment of patients with normal LDL-C but elevated hsCRP
• Implement the latest advances in the dietary treatment of dyslipidemia
• Apply the latest information on non-traditional risk factors to the evaluation of patients with CVD but normolipidemia
• Employ the pathways in the brain and adipose tissue to treat the components of the cardiometabolic syndrome
