Rural Health Webinar Series – Fine-tuning cardiovascular risk to make a difference

Webinar 3 Sep, 7:30 PM - 8:30 PM (AEST)

Cardiovascular disease remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality in rural Australia. While traditional risk assessment and LDL-C management remain central to prevention, many patients continue to experience cardiovascular events despite apparently appropriate treatment.

This webinar will help rural GPs identify hidden contributors to cardiovascular risk, including lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], familial hypercholesterolaemia (HeFH) and metabolic syndrome. Through case-based discussion, participants will explore contemporary approaches to risk assessment, LDL-C optimisation and supporting long-term adherence.
