  • Overview

    Despite CV risk reduction with LDL-c control with statins, there is a high percentage residual CV risk. Three speakers discuss the players in residual risk with a focus on triglycerides. Additionally, they present data of the REDUCE-IT trial with icosapent ethyl and provide guidance for implementation of icosapent ethyl in the management of patients with residual risk.

    This course consists of 3 episodes. Watch all episodes, answer pre- and post-test questions, and start earning CME credits.
