The Poster Hall at #NLASessions was absolutely electric! A record number of abstracts, incredible research, and so much passion on display. Congratulations to every single presenter who shared their work this weekend!👏

In the midst of all the action, Social Ambassador Dr. Navid Radfar interviewed Dr. Andrew Cyr about one of the hottest topics of the meeting: Lp(a). The future of lipidology is in outstanding hands!

Day 3: Rewriting the Rules for Primary Prevention

Decades of data are clear: the lower the LDL-C, the better. Time to rethink the reactive approach and start lowering sooner. VESALIUS-CV is the first major PCSK9i outcomes trial to push into the pre-event space.

[Navid Radfar @navid_radfar]

Where PREVENT falls short: it doesn’t incorporate Lp(a), family history, pregnancy complications, genetic risk, or social determinants of health. BMI alone can’t separate muscle from metabolic risk. Imaging helps fill those blind spots by showing actual plaque.

[Navid Radfar @navid_radfar]

Excellent session by Dr. @DineshKalra at NLA/EAS joint session on augmenting prevention with imaging. Risk scores like PREVENT predict from surrogates, while imaging detects disease itself — adding real precision for patients these calculators underestimate. 🫀

@nationallipid

[Navid Radfar @navid_radfar]

Great to hear incoming NLA President @DineshKalra address a clear vision for equitable lipid care for underserved patients through partnership with industry. A mission that hits home with our Lp(a) screening initiative in NJ.

Do you know your Lp(a) level?

1 in 5 people have high Lp(a), an inherited risk factor for atherosclerosis, yet less than 5% have been screened.

We've made screening easy. Request your free kit today: https://t.co/AG0QFQS0i3

[AHA Science @AHAScience]

Key updates to this guideline include:

➡️ The use of the American Heart Association PREVENT-ASCVD equations to guide primary-prevention and lipid-lowering therapy decisions.
➡️ Testing Lp(a) at least once in a lifetime and selective apolipoprotein B measurement to improve risk assessment and guide treatment
➡️ The return of LDL-C and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol treatment goals (with lower targets for higher-risk groups)
➡️ Expanded use of coronary artery calcium scoring to reclassify risk[ME1.1]

[Pablo Corral MD @drpablocorral]

🙌 Today the 2026 ACC/AHA Guideline on the Management of Dyslipidemia has been released.

📍Key updates shaping contemporary lipid management:

1️⃣ Lp(a) measurement is now recommended at least once in all adults for ASCVD risk assessment.
2️⃣ PREVENT equations replace the Pooled Cohort Equations for estimating 10-year and 30-year ASCVD risk.
3️⃣ LDL-C and non-HDL-C treatment goals return as central therapeutic targets alongside percentage LDL reduction.
4️⃣ Earlier intervention is emphasized to reduce lifelong exposure to atherogenic lipoproteins.
5️⃣ Broader integration of ApoB, CAC scoring, and modern lipid-lowering therapies to refine risk stratification and treatment.

👆 An important step forward in translating decades of lipid research into clinical practice and cardiovascular prevention.
