Title: From LDL-C to Lp(a): Opportunities to Reduce the Rising Tide of Cardiovascular Events
Date/Time: Monday, July 21 | 11:30am-12:30pm
Location: Presentation Theater #2
Description: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is still the leading cause of death in the United States and the trend is moving in the wrong direction, with 2022 setting a record for deaths due to CVD in the US at close to 1 million. LDL-cholesterol is a major modifiable cardiovascular risk factor, which continues to be poorly controlled and elevated Lp(a) is a powerful, causal, independent genetic risk factor for CVD which is prevalent in approximately 20% of the population.
The Family Heart Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to research, education, and advocacy and as part of our ongoing research efforts, we have examined the state of LDL-C control among 38M Americans at high and very high-risk for cardiovascular disease in the proprietary Family Heart Database. This session will provide an update on current guidelines related to LDL-C management and Lp(a) screening and focus on key findings and insights from an analysis of the Family Heart database.
