Primary Prevention of CV Disease: PREVENT in Practice

Preventing the first cardiovascular event starts with recognizing risk before disease becomes clinically apparent. In this free online CME module, explore a more contemporary approach to primary prevention, including how the PREVENT-ASCVD equations can help you assess cardiovascular risk and translate that information into more individualized conversations and treatment decisions for the patients you see every day. Led by preventive cardiology expert Seth S. Martin, MD, MHS, this clinically-focused session examines current approaches to cardiovascular risk assessment and lipid management, with an emphasis on applying the 2026 dyslipidemia recommendations in practice. Learn when and how to use PREVENT-ASCVD for 10- and 30-year risk assessment, how risk enhancers and coronary artery calcium can further personalize risk, and how to match lipid-lowering strategies to an individual patient s risk. The module also addresses earlier identification and treatment of severe hypercholesterolemia and familial hypercholesterolemia, lifestyle as the foundation of prevention, evolving lipid-lowering options, and shared decision-making, all with the goal of helping clinicians intervene earlier and more effectively to reduce long-term cardiovascular risk.
