Opportunities to Reduce the Rising Tide of Cardiovascular Events Through Better LDL-C Management
Industry Theater 1, Ballroom III
Description
Cardiovascular disease is still the leading cause of death in the United States and the trend is moving in the wrong direction, with 2020 setting a record for deaths due to cardiovascular disease in the US at close to 1 million. LDL-cholesterol is a major modifiable cardiovascular risk factor which continues to be poorly controlled.
The Family Heart Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to research, education, and advocacy and as part of our ongoing research efforts, we have examined the state of LDL-C control among 38M Americans at high and very high-risk for cardiovascular disease in the proprietary Family Heart Database. This session will provide an update on current LDL-C treatment guidelines and focus on key findings and insights from an analysis of the Family Heart database.
