This activity features an engaging video panel discussion with 3 renowned clinical experts and Charles—a patient living with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). The lively exchange is enhanced with explanatory visuals; direct note-taking capability; interactive questions; and a full in-suit resource library. The panel will delve into topics covering safety/efficacy data for PCSK9 inhibitors (PCSK9-Is), 2018 ACC/AHA guideline updates, and patient selection for treatment intensification with PCSK9-Is. Faculty will examine key matters in patient care, provide illustrative patient case scenarios, pose practical solutions to common issues encountered in clinical practice, and Charles will provide insight into his experience with FH, its treatment, and his interaction with the healthcare system.
