Episode Details

Hosted by Dr. Dan Soffer, this conversation brings NLA President Dr. Willard and Beth Jackson together to unpack the Association’s guidance, “LDL Cholesterol Management Simplified in Adults – Lower for Longer is Better.” The trio turns a big message into practical moves: why lifetime LDL exposure matters, who needs more aggressive targets, and how to streamline therapy choices from high-intensity statins to add-ons (ezetimibe, PCSK9-directed options) when goals aren’t met. They share real-world tactics on adherence, stepwise intensification, shared decision-making, and navigating special populations—all in a clear, clinic-ready format.
