Achieving targets by engaging with the lipid pathway

In this episode, Dr Xenophon Kassianides, Helen Williams and Dr Paul Ferenc delve into the importance of achieving lipid targets through engagement with the whole lipid pathway. Our expert speakers discuss the pivotal role of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) as a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality and the vital importance of tackling this risk factor through better lipid management. The 25/26 NHS England reimbursement to facilitate primary care to better engage with the lipid pathway is discussed as well as the importance of ensuring that all eligible patients are initiated on lipid-lowering therapies and then optimised to achieve targets.If you are a UK practising healthcare professional and would like to learn more about cardiovascular disease (CVD), please take a look at our online CVD academy here: ⁠Join the PCCS | Primary Care Cardiovascular Society________________This podcast is intended for UK Healthcare professionals only.
