American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP): This Enduring Material activity, THE CRUCIAL PROBLEM OF ASCVD, Can New Therapeutic Options Resolve It?, has been reviewed and is acceptable for up to 1.00 Prescribed credit by the American Academy of Family Physicians. AAFP certification begins 01/30/2019. Term of approval is for one year from this date. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. Program Overview: Clinically evident atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is a leading cause of death and mortality in the US, and elevated serum LDL-C is a widely-recognized cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor. Since hypercholesterolemia is a major driver of ASCVD, lipid-lowering therapies (mainly statins) are the primary approach to lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Unfortunately, intensive statin therapy lowers CVD risk by only ~50%, leaving many patients at excessively high residual CVD risk with no good options to reduce this risk. This activity explores the residual CVD risk that ASCVD patients endure despite even intensive statin therapy. The education will also examine the possibility of additional CVD risk reduction by adding lipid-lowering therapies to statins, including the use of add-on therapies (ezetimibe and

recent PCSK9 inhibitors) to improve clinical outcomes in this high-risk patient population. Learning Objectives: After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to: • Evaluate the extent of residual CVD risk to which ASCVD patients are exposed, and treat additional CVD risk elements as appropriate • Differentiate the clinical properties of new and emerging pharmacologic approaches to reduce LDL-C and lower CVD risk • Analyze the potential utility of new LDL-C lowering agents used in combination with statins to reduce CVD risk in patients who have ASCVD.
