Needs - Baylor College of Medicine
Statement of Needs
Eighty percent of diabetic patients die of heart disease. Recently published post hoc analyses of long-term trials of lipid-modifying therapy have demonstrated clinical benefit in the subgroup of patients with diabetes, but diabetic dyslipidemia and associated cardiovascular risk factors continue to be difficult to manage successfully. Several treatment options have become available in the past year that make prevention a more attainable goal in patients with diabetes or the metabolic syndrome. Because aggressive lipid-modifying therapy in patients with diabetes can reduce coronary heart disease morbiditydisease morbidity and mortality, there is a need to provide medical professionals with up-to-date information on diagnosis and treatment of dyslipidemias in these high-risk patients.
Educational Objectives
Upon completion of the activity, participants should be able to explain and discuss:
• Emerging concepts modalities for risk assessment in patients with the metabolic syndrome or diabetes
• Benefits of treatment of lipid disorders in patients with diabetes
• Identification and treatment of the metabolic syndrome.
• Benefits of combination therapy (statin, niacin, ezetimibe, and fibrates) in the treatment of diabetic dyslipidemias
• Management of multiple lipid abnormalities in patients with diabetes
