Lipid measurements in the management of cardiovascular diseases
In this video, Prof. Stephen Nicholls provides a comprehensive overview of our infographic on lipid measurements and their clinical implications, serving as a helpful resource for healthcare professionals involved in managing cardiovascular disease. Covering atherogenic dyslipidemia, lipid profile components, advanced tests, and genetic considerations, Prof. Nicholls emphasizes individualized approaches to interpreting lipid parameters based on patient demographics and risk levels. This aims to guide clinicians in optimizing lipid-lowering therapy for cardiovascular risk prevention.
