Low density lipoprotein cholesterol causes atherosclerosis and atherosclerosis is the leading cause of cardiac death in Australia. And that, in a nutshell, is why lowering LDL-C levels is so important, says interventional cardiologist Associate Professor Ron Dick.
In this talk, Professor Dick will present the latest evidence to support the focus on LDL-C, he will discuss the new lower targets for LDL-C levels for different at-risk groups and provide an update on the recommended treatments available to manage this major cardiac risk factor.
