Beyond Statins: Pharmacological Management of Dyslipidemia
Learn advanced strategies for managing dyslipidemia beyond statins, including alternative pharmacologic therapies, treatment guidelines, and patient-specific considerations.
About this course
Understanding the nuances of pharmacologic management of dyslipidemia is crucial for healthcare professionals, particularly given the limitations and challenges associated with statin therapy alone. This knowledge gap not only affects prescribing patterns but also influences the overall management of dyslipidemia, a key risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). To bridge this educational gap, this course aims to provide an in-depth review of evidence-based literature on non-statin agents. The course discusses the specific clinical indications where non-statin medication is beneficial and explores the various pharmacologic options available for reducing LDL-C, mitigating ASCVD risk, managing severe hypertriglyceridemia, and lowering the risk of pancreatitis. Through this course, healthcare professionals will gain the tools necessary to make informed, patientcentered decisions in dyslipidemia management.

I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Verified reviewVery well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
Verified reviewI appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
Verified reviewI really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
Verified reviewI am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
