| Sumario: | • We present 4 high-risk primary prevention cases as a learning tool. • Clinical teaching points include those related to familial hypercholesterolemia and lipoprotein(a). • These cases are included in the National Lipid Association's nationwide Translating Evidence-based Approaches into optimal Care of High-risk atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease patient's initiative. The National Lipid Association (NLA) is currently conducting a study to improve the uptake of evidence-based guidelines into clinical practice through the deployment of case-based online learning modules to participating health systems nationwide. The Translating Evidence-based Approaches into optimal Care of High-risk Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease patients (TEACH-ASCVD) will evaluate the impact of electronic learning modules on clinician practices related to ASCVD management. In the design phase of TEACH-ASCVD, expert lipidologists created a series of 7 cases informed by recent guidelines intended to provide common clinical scenarios that evaluate participant knowledge of evidence-based practices for high-risk ASCVD and familial hypercholesterolemia. In this manuscript, we present 4 primary prevention-focused cases in high-risk patients and discuss pertinent clinical teaching points. These cases are intended for individuals with clinical lipidology training. We encourage lipidologists to disseminate this manuscript and utilize these cases as a teaching tool for nonlipid specialists to hone their knowledge of common clinical ASCVD risk management scenarios. |
