DaRe2THINK Webinar – Prof Derek Connolly – Lipid Therapy State of the Art

This talk is part of a series hosted by the DaRe2THINK trial to provide information to allied healthcare professionals and general practice staff across the UK.

Everyone knows that cholesterol is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. 30 years ago the west of Scotland Cory prevention Study showed for the first time that primary prevention of cardiovascular disease by lowering cholesterol levels reduced major adverse cardiovascular events. However, lowering LDL cholesterol by many other ways is now possible and future therapies are coming. This talk will review the state of the art of lipids with a glimpse into the future.
