Overview
Following a pan-European crowdsourcing survey, which assessed current practices, attitudes and knowledge on CV risk, we are delighted to have our esteemed faculty present the findings and put them into context of real-world practice.
The survey, which compared results from European cardiologists and primary care providers, highlighted several interesting trends in prescribing practices and knowledge gaps in assessing patient risk. During this live webinar, our crowdsourcing results will serve as a basis to discuss several other large practice-based studies and to recap on current guideline-directed practice.

This symposium was supported by an unrestricted educational grant from Novartis.
Key Learning Objectives
- Discuss the current practice gaps in hypercholesterolaemia management
- Review results of large retrospective trials which show varied use of lipid-lowering therapy and LDL-C target achievement
- Stratify patients by CV risk category
- Recall best practice for assessing CV risk, defining LDL-C target and offering patient education
- Select appropriate cholesterol-lowering therapies according to risk category and LDL-C target
- Discuss how current practices in the real-world deviate from guideline directed practice
- Alter practices to mitigate barriers to optimal practice
This programme is intended to educate:
- General Cardiologists
