Precursors of Cardiovascular Disease and Emerging Strategies With Statins CME Dyslipidemia is only one signal of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Inflammation is a frequent precursor of cardiac-related events. Drs. Willerson, Ballantyne, and Ridker critically examine the mechanisms of atherosclerosis, elevated C-reactive protein and other risk factors, and statin therapy to preemptively address or ameliorate CVD.

Antiplatelet Therapy in ACS: Evidence-Based Medicine in Real-World Practice CME With the approval of a third-generation thienopyridine, new clinical trial data on novel agents, and the dosing of clopidogrel, Dr. Berger asks Dr. Cohen how he has incorporated this information into his practice.
MedscapeCME Cardiology, December 2009
The Role of Genetic Markers in Assessing CV Risk and Targeting Therapy CME Join Drs. Davidson, Sabatine, Sacks, Chapman, and Foody in an exciting discussion about the advances in genetic markers in assessing cardiovascular risk and targeting therapy.
MedscapeCME Cardiology, November 2009
Patients With High- and Very High-Risk Dyslipidemia: Closing the Treatment Gap Between Goal and Reality CME Do current guidelines provide us with the direction for managing high-risk patients with dyslipidemia?
