Mayo Clinic Talks 653: Update in the Management of Hyperlipidemia

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. 

Guest: Stephen Kopecky, M.D. 

Cardiovascular disease is highly prevalent in our society. Fortunately, we have a variety of treatment options to lower the risk of developing its complications. Over the past decade, there’ve been many changes in managing hyperlipidemia, one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This includes a change in assessing our patients’ risk, identification of new risk factors, new testing options, and new pharmacologic options for treating hyperlipidemia. We’ll cover all of these topics in this podcast. My guest is Dr. Stephen Kopecky, a preventive cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic, and we’ll be discussing “Update in the Management of Hyperlipidemia”.
