  •  

The role of triglyceride lowering therapies for cardiovascular event prevention has been hotly debated and studied over the past decade. Optimal therapy, for the treatment of mild – moderately elevated triglycerides is inconclusive and evidence supporting specific pharmacotherapy for the treatment of hypertriglyceridemia continues to evolve. This session will review the 2021 American College of Cardiology Expert Consensus Statement and address emerging science aligning the approach to treatment of elevated triglycerides with that of elevated LDL. This session will explain the role of triglycerides as an indicator of residual cardiovascular risk, reinforce the importance of lifestyle modification for the treatment of triglycerides, address evidence-based pharmacotherapy, and introduce attendees to drug therapy management considerations for triglyceride based patient management groups.
