Duke 1st Annual Preventive Cardiology Symposium

Durham, NC US
April 26, 2014

The overall goal of this activity is to review the latest advances in the management of lipids in clinical practice, including the new American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology guidelines on lipids announced in November 2013. Topics include learning about evaluation and treatment options in lipids and lipoprotein disorders, as well as focusing on new prevention guidelines, physical activity, nutrition, drug therapies, advanced lipoprotein testing, special patient populations, and new technologies for lifestyle management.
