Which agents to use and which patients benefit from the newer interventions?

OVERVIEW

This webinar focuses on the use of novel pharmacological treatment strategies aimed at improving cardiovascular outcomes in medium to high-risk patients. The focus will be on newer lipid lowering agents and novel antidiabetic drugs as well as on gaining insight into newer markers of cardiovascular risk, such as high Lp(a).
