What you'll learn
At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to:
Use the PREVENT equations and the Calculate, Personalize, Reclassify, and Reassess (CPR) framework to estimate a patient’s 10-year and 30-year ASCVD risk.
Differentiate the risk-tiered LDL-C and non-HDL-C goals and the indications for apolipoprotein B and lipoprotein(a) testing across ASCVD risk categories.
Develop a statin and nonstatin treatment plan, including the structured statin-intolerance pathway, to reach a patient’s risk-based goals.
Implement tailored lipid-management strategies for special populations, including diabetes, older adults, pregnancy or lactation, familial hypercholesterolemia, severe hypertriglyceridemia, and elevated lipoprotein(a).
Course description
The 2026 ACC/AHA dyslipidemia guideline brings the most consequential changes to lipid management since 2018. This focused course turns the new recommendations into practical, actionable strategies—from using the PREVENT model and applying risk-based LDL-C and non-HDL-C goals to assessing lifetime risk, selecting apoB, lipoprotein(a), and coronary artery calcium testing, initiating combination therapy, and managing statin intolerance.
Through realistic patient cases, you’ll build the confidence to make informed, individualized treatment decisions for both routine and complex patients, including those with diabetes, familial hypercholesterolemia, severe hypertriglyceridemia, and pregnancy-related considerations. Leave prepared to integrate the updated guideline into everyday practice and deliver more consistent, patient-centered lipid care. Patient cases are composite and fictional; any resemblance to real individuals is coincidental.

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.
