In this activity, experts in hyperlipidemia discuss clinical evidence and guideline recommendations for the treatment of hyperlipidemia, for both primary and secondary prevention of CV events in patients with ASCVD. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Summarize current clinical evidence and guideline recommendations for the treatment of hyperlipidemia, both for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular events in patients with ASCVD, Identify novel mechanisms of action and safety-efficacy evidence for approved and emerging investigational lipid-lowering therapies that target PCSK9, Select an appropriate lipid-lowering therapy including available and emerging agents, alone or in combination for providing guideline-directed LDL-C reduction and cardiovascular risk reduction in patients with high-risk ASCVD.

In this activity, an expert in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) management discusses how to individualize treatment with GLP-1 RAs to improve outcomes for patients. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Apply evidence-based treatment recommendations for GLP-1 RAs based on clinical trial results evaluating glycemic and extra-glycemic (eg, cardiovascular risk reduction, weight education) outcomes in patients with T2DM, Identify potential barriers to use (ie, mode of administration, adverse events) for current and emerging GLP-1 RAs, Engage in patient-centered discussions about the benefits and risks of using GLP-1 RAs to personalize management of T2DM.
