Lipid, Lipoproteins and Hypolipidaemic Therapy
Cinisello B.mo (MI), 18-19 June 2015
Rationale
In recent years, with regard to the lipid-lowering therapy, therapy with statins has been validated and a series of novel therapeutic approaches has been developed.
If, on the one hand, the pivotal role of statin therapy is confirmed by a large series of studies, the role of the reduction of LDL cholesterol has also been confirmed, as the clinical benefit appears to be independent of the method with which LDL are decreased. Objectives of this course are:
1) to conduct a review of what is known and established in the primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease through the use of lipid-lowering therapy, and indicate possible areas of differentiation between the major therapeutic classes and within them;
2) to conduct a survey on new therapeutic approaches, both for rare diseases of lipid metabolism that for the population in general;
3) indicate new emerging causal factors that may be of interest in clinical practice.
