Summary
There’s no shortage of information on the management of lipids for the prevention of cardiovascular disease:

• 2018 Guideline on the Management of Blood Cholesterol.
• 2022 ACC Expert Consensus Decision Pathway.
• CLEAR Outcomes, CVOT studies, Risk Calculators.

Helping sort these and other topics out, Dr. James Underberg and Dr. Jessica Pena discuss the top 5 learner submitted questions/topics from the recent programs on non-statin lipid management in primary prevention of ASCVD.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, learners should be able to:

• Identify patients at high risk for ASCVD, based on risk factors and testing, who would benefit from additional lipid lowering
• Integrate evolving evidence with guidelines and expert recommendations in the use of non-statin therapies for primary prevention of ASCVD in patients at high risk

Summary
Hormonal changes play a significant role in influencing mood and cognition. Fluctuations in hormone levels can impact neurotransmitter activity and neural circuits associated with mood regulation and cognitive function. For instance, during menstruation, pregnancy, menopause, and times of stress, hormone levels can fluctuate, leading to mood swings, irritability, anxiety, and cognitive changes.

In this podcast/webcast episode, Dr. Gregory Mattingly and Dr. Vladimir Maletic discuss the impact of stress, hormones and mood, as understanding these hormonal influences is crucial for managing mood disorders, improving cognitive function, and promoting overall well-being.

This podcast was recorded and is being used with permission of the presenters.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, learners should be able to:

• Summarize the role of hormonal changes and their impact on mood and cognition
• Discuss recent developments that improve outcomes of hormonally triggered problems with mood or cognition

Summary
Resilience, the ability to bounce back from adversity, is not solely determined by genetic factors but is heavily influenced by epigenetic mechanisms. Epigenetics can then influence DNA gene expression, playing a crucial role in shaping our resilience. It is known that while genetics provide a blueprint, our experiences and lifestyle choices can determine how those genes are expressed. However, neuroplasticity, the brain's remarkable ability to reorganize and adapt, underscores the potential for resilience to be cultivated and strengthened throughout life.

In this podcast/webcast episode, Dr. Gregory Mattingly and Dr. Vladimir Maletic discuss the impact of resilience as well as strategies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, exercise, social support networks, and healthy lifestyle habits which have been shown to promote neuroplasticity and enhance resilience by positively impacting epigenetic processes. By understanding and leveraging these interconnected concepts, individuals can empower themselves to navigate life's challenges with greater resilience and adaptability.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, learners should be able to:

• Summarize how trauma and resilience impact epigenetics and neuroplasticity
• Discuss clinical interventions and strategies to improve resilience within your practice

Summary
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a rare but critical genetic disorder characterized by extremely high LDL cholesterol levels, significantly increasing the risk of early cardiovascular disease. In this activity, Dr. Zahid Ahmad and Dr. Don Wilson provide expert insights into homozygous FH, answering questions from recent live-virtual symposia. They cover crucial topics, including diagnosis, pediatric lipid screening, genetic testing, and care coordination. The experts emphasize the significance of specialized care and early intervention for individuals with homozygous FH, aiming to better inform healthcare professionals and improve patient outcomes.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, learners should be able to:

• Diagnose HoFH based on clinical criteria and genetic testing when indicated
• Implement, or refer patients for, cascade screening and the appropriate pharmacologic treatment of HoFH
• Recognize and address patient and family needs to overcome barriers to care in HoFH
