SPOTLIGHT ON:
New Series of Interactive Cases:
The NLEC is about to launch yet another series of Interactive Case Studies—the ninth so far! Robert H. Knopp, MD, and Richard J. Flanigan, MD, will be the featured authors for this series, writing about “Combination Lipid Therapy Issues in a 67-Year-Old Man With Persistent Pattern B LDL and History of CABG” and “Combining Antihyperlipidemics, Antihypertensives, and Antiarrhythmics in a 56-Year-Old Man,” respectively.
     Website visitors will see that this series boasts a more user-friendly format with enhanced media selections. The goal is to make this a unique, truly life-like learning experience!
     You can access the new series of interactive case studies, in mid October, along with all past series, by clicking on the CME Activities navigation bar on the lipidhealth.org home page.

Guidelines-at-a-Glance: An exciting new section of the lipidhealth.org website features 17 sets of current guidelines to assist the busy clinician in the practice of evidence-based cardiovascular risk-reduction strategies and preventive cardiology. Feedback from practicing physicians indicated a need for a comprehensive listing of pertinent guidelines in one location. In this section, we’ve included the following guidelines: ATP III; JNC 7; general, multiple risk-factor strategies on primary prevention; individual risk factors (eg, blood pressure, tobacco); special populations such as women and children; others highlighting conditions such as diabetes and obesity; and many more. Click on the Guidelines-at-a-Glance navigation bar on the home page.

Dynamic Slide Library: Four slides on combination therapy are now featured in the new Dynamic Slide Library. Now visitors can search for NLEC slides in nine categories, plus build presentations from more than 300 downloadable slides.
