ACC-Minnesota was represented this past week at ACC’s Legislative Conference 2023 in Washington, DC. The three-day meeting offers cardiovascular clinicians spanning the entire care team a chance to hear from ACC leaders, staff and other experts on health policy issues affecting patients and the profession, while also providing an important opportunity to speak directly with members of Congress and their staff.
Fellows in Training, residents and medical students are invited to participate in the 2023 Midwest Cardiovascular Forum Poster Contest. There will be an award for first, second, and third place in each category. Presenters will be judged on the following criteria: originality, scientific content, presentation and answer to questions raised by the case. Winners will be announced on-site at the 2023 Midwest Cardiovascular Forum.

“Cross-Setting Strategies for Improved Identification, Diagnosis, and Management of Homozygous Hypercholesterolemia” will take place virtually on Wednesday, October 25, 2023 at 6:00 PM CT.
This webcast was organized for the ACC Great Plains, Iowa and Minnesota Chapters.
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is a genetic disorder characterized by markedly elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), leading to premature cardiovascular disease. Affected individuals are typically less responsive or unresponsive to standard lipid-lowering therapies (ie, statins and PCSK9 inhibitors) and may benefit from treatments with alternative mechanisms of action, such as the recently FDA-approved ANGPTL3 inhibitor evinacumab. With this in mind, this program has been designed to educate clinicians about the prevalence of HoFH, the importance of HoFH screening, and the benefits and limitations of current therapies for lipid management in patients with the disease. The nationally recognized expert faculty will also provide practical advice to attendees, based on their personal success, regarding strategies that improve patient access to newer lipid-lowering therapies.
This educational activity has been designed for US cardiologists and internal medicine physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants involved in the identi fication, diagnosis, and management of patients with HoFH.
Integrity Continuing Education, Inc. designates this live activity for a maximum of 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditTM.
