    S7 E1: Changing the FH Playbook: Diagnosis and Treatment Updates from the NLA

    Hosted by Dave Dixon, PharmD, CLS, FNLA, this episode features an in-depth discussion with three key authors of the NLA’s new statement providing updated guidance on diagnosis, management, and treatment of FH. Together, they review the most important updates in the new guidance, including recommendations for earlier identification, the role of genetic testing and cascade screening, updated LDL-cholesterol treatment targets, and the integration of newer lipid-lowering therapies. The conversation also addresses practical considerations for managing FH across the lifespan, from pediatric care to special populations, with a focus on translating evidence-based recommendations into real-world clinical practice.

    S6E12: ATTAIN in Practice: Translating Data Into Lipid Decisions

    In this episode of Lipid Insights, host Dr. Peter Jones is joined by Dr. Harold Bays for a practical, clinician-focused discussion of the ATTAIN Study and what it means for everyday lipid management. Together, they walk through the key questions clinicians ask when new evidence emerges: what the study set out to evaluate, how to interpret the findings in context, and where the results may (or may not) shift decision-making at the point of care. Dr. Bays brings a real-world lens to the conversation—highlighting how study design, patient selection, endpoints, and background therapy can influence how we apply data in practice. The episode emphasizes translating evidence into action, from identifying the right patients to aligning therapeutic strategy with risk, goals, and adherence realities. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your interpretation of clinical trial data or refine your approach to lipid-related risk reduction, this discussion offers clear takeaways you can use immediately.
