Lipid Innovations Master Class

Educational objectives of this Master Class are:

• To explore the mechanisms underlying the complex interplay between the clinical benefit of (combined) lipid modulation and baseline serum lipid levels.
• To review new data on effective lipid lowering and its relevance to treatment strategies and outcomes
• To review the clinical significance of additional lipid lowering pathways in the management of atherosclerosis
• To evaluate the effects of new HDL-C raising therapies on the risk of cardiovascular events in CV risk patients
• To understand the medical need for aggressive lipid management in patients at high CV risk, such as DM and metabolic syndrome
• To develop a consensus on practical guidelines for day-to-day lipid management of patients with atherosclerosis and CV risk

CME accreditation

The Scientific programme is developed under the auspices of the Physicians’ Academy for Cardiovascular Education
(PACE) Foundation and supervised by the University College London. This PACE Lipid Master Class is accredited by
the European Board for Accreditation in Cardiology (EBAC) for 6 CME credit hours (Day #1: 2 CME credits - Day #2: 4
CME credits). Each participant should claim only those hours of credit that have actually been spent in the educational
activity. EBAC works according to the quality standards of the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical
Education (EACCME), which is an institution of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS).

Who should attend

Participants to this Master Class are medical specialists; cardiologists, internists, endocrinologists with a particular interest in lipid management in patients in patients with increased risk. The attendance is limited to ensure lively interaction and discussion.
