Optimal Management of Lipids for Secondary Prevention
This PowerPoint slide deck discusses systemic gaps in care in PCI patients and provides information to facilitate communication across the multidisciplinary care team to ensure that our patients receive optimal guideline directed lipid-lowering therapy for secondary prevention. It also introduces resources to empower patients with the knowledge necessary to make decisions about setting and achieving their target lipid levels, as well as tools for healthcare providers to potentially aid access to necessary lipid-lowering medications.
