Therapeutic Management of Dyslipidaemia
In this video, Prof. Christopher Cannon provides a comprehensive overview of our infographic on the therapeutic management of dyslipidaemia. Dyslipidaemia, a key risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, is conventionally managed through therapies targeting lipoproteins such as LDL, Lp(a), IDL + VLDL through small-molecule therapeutics. Despite their effectiveness, off-target events and poor patient compliance often pose significant challenges. Hence novel therapeutics, such as small interfering RNAs, antisense oligonucleotides, and monoclonal antibodies have been developed. These advancements highlight a significant step forward in the management of dyslipidaemia. Prof. Cannon emphasizes these main points in the video, aiming to guide clinicians in optimizing lipid-lowering therapy for cardiovascular risk prevention.

Lp(a):What is it and its role in atherosclerosis
In this video, Prof. Lale Tokgozoglu of Hacettepe University, former president of the European Atherosclerosis Society, discusses the structure, function, and genetics of Lp(a) and highlights the clinical implications of elevated Lp(a) levels. Using evidence from contemporary clinical studies, Prof. Tokgozoglu shares insights into approaches for lowering Lp(a) levels. Finally, challenges in the comprehensive understanding of the physiological and clinical implications of Lp(a) are discussed. Learning outcome – High levels of lipoprotein(a) increase the chances of experiencing heart attack, stroke, and aortic stenosis.

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.
