LDL cholesterol is a key therapeutic target in heart disease care and prevention. However, most patients with or at risk for cardiovascular disease are not at the treatment goal. This webinar will review the biochemical mechanisms driving LDL elevations and review the available treatment options that target those mechanisms. The critical role of targeted dietary interventions will be emphasized.
