The HDL Clinial Master Class is an initiative of the Physicians’ Academy for Cardiovascular Education (PACE) foundation with a particular focus on future opportunities in lipid management and the prevention of cardiovascular disease.

The HDL Clinical Master Class will be a dynamic meeting with state of the art lectures, clinical debates, and practical workshops. The meeting aims to educate clinicians with state-of-the-art information about HDL cholesterol, and its role in current and future prevention of cardiovascular disease.

During this interactive programme an in-depth review will be provided on the epidemiology, the metabolism and mechanisms of the protection that HDL cholesterol confers.

Educational objectives of this HDL Expert Master Class are:

  • To explore the role of HDL-C in atherosclerosis
  • To understand the importance of HDL functionality
  • To review the role of CETP inhibition in atherogenesis
  • To evaluate the effects of new HDL-C modifying therapies on the risk of cardiovascular events in CV risk patients
  • To understand the importance of HDL-C modification in patients at high CV risk, such as DM and metabolic syndrome
  • To understand the pharmacologic rationale and clinical impact of new clinical trial data on HDL-C modification for patients with atherosclerosis
  • To develop a consensus on practical guidelines for day-to-day lipid management of patients with atherosclerosis and CV risk
