Escalate, Achieve, Optimize: Advancing LDL-C Management in Primary Care

Despite widespread statin use, many patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) fail to achieve recommended LDL-C targets, leaving them vulnerable to preventable cardiovascular events. In primary care, barriers such as uncertainty around treatment escalation, inconsistent LDL-C monitoring, and limited familiarity with non-statin therapies can delay optimal care. Tune in as expert faculty in lipid management review current evidence and the latest updates in guideline-directed LDL-C management, with a focus on intensifying therapy when statins alone are not enough. Through a real-world patient case, faculty demonstrate how to apply practical tools from the ASCVD Prevention Optimization Guide to support timely treatment escalation, individualized therapy selection, and appropriate referral to specialists for complex cases. Designed to support immediate practice change, offers actionable strategies to integrate guideline-recommended LDL-C monitoring, optimize use of non-statin therapies, and streamline treatment decision-making in busy primary care settings.
