Mastering the Management of ASCVD Risk

Welcome to
Mastering the
Management of
ASCVD Risk!

This NEW Clinician’s Learning Center is a destination site for aggregated CME education where we will explore the challenges facing healthcare professionals involved in managing the care of patients with Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD) risk. After learning about the latest guideline recommendations and new ASCVD risk reduction clinical trial data, participants will be better able to integrate this advancing knowledge into their clinical practice to increase the number of patients at risk of ASCVD who are receiving the most appropriate, optimal therapy.

Check out the Featured Programs below and stay tuned for new programs launching this year.
