This grand rounds activity features a leading expert in lipidology who will address the management of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) event risk with adjunctive therapies to statin use. Dr. James Underberg (NYU Langone) provides succinct information and practical clinical advice on 5 key areas of lipid management to prevent ASCVD events: 1) key concepts of the 2018 Multisociety Blood Cholesterol Guidelines; 2) triglycerides, their remnants, and their relationship to ASCVD; 3) the latest large-scale clinical trials on lipid-lowering therapies; 4) omega-3 fatty acids as statin adjuncts in ASCVD event reduction; and 5) practical considerations on the use of statins and statin adjuncts.
