Overview
This microlearning series aims to provide guidance on how to identify, manage, and treat hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) in your patients and improve patient outcomes.
The programme is aimed to improve understanding of HTG as a risk factor for acute and chronic illness, address challenges of diagnosing and treating elevated TG levels and review latest data for emerging therapies.
Guided by the expertise of renowned leaders in the field, including Dr Christie Ballantyne (Baylor College of Medicine, Texas, US) as programme chair, who is accompanied by Dr Robert Eckel (University of Colorado, Colorado, US), Prof Ioanna Gouni-Berthold (University of Cologne, Cologne, DE) and Dr Nicholas Marston (Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, US), this series comprises five succinct sessions designed to revolutionise your approach to HTG management.
The full series of this programme is available as a course to earn 1.00 AMA PRA Credit.
