TITLE:
CVD Risk Reduction and Lipid Management; State of the Science in HDL Therapy


OBJECTIVES:
1. Examine the extent of residual CVD risk that continues to burden dyslipidemic ACS patients despite intensive statin treatment to reduce LDL.
2. Compare the relative effectiveness of existing treatments to raise HDL and reduce CVD risk.
3. Explain the rationale for developing CETP modulators and inhibitors to increase HDL and reduce CVD risk, and discuss accruing clinical data on this drug class.
4. Discuss how the modulation of complex cholesterol metabolism could have an impact on atherogenesis and improve clinical outcomes.
