<p dir="ltr">In this episode of <em>Cholesterol Conversations</em>, join Drs. Neha Pagidipati, Christie Ballantyne, and Gregory Piazza for a roundtable discussion that addresses recent guidance on ASCVD management, current gaps in ASCVD care, patient barriers to LDL-C lowering, and nonstatin therapies to consider for  patients who don’t respond to statin therapy alone.</p>

How Do We Get There from Here: Partnering with Patients to Achieve LDL Goals

Statin therapy is the first-line pharmacologic treatment for lowering low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and reducing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk. However, evidence-based and guideline-recommended therapies continue to be underutilized — even among the highest risk patients. More education is needed to address gaps in ASCVD care, particularly among patients who cannot reach their LDL-C goals with statin therapy alone. 

NATF is pleased to launch Cholesterol Conversations, a limited-series podcast discussing the latest guidance on ASCVD management and available treatment options for optimal LDL-C lowering. New data on the efficacy of novel agents and combination therapy is also highlighted.
