Dyslipidemia refers to abnormal levels of lipids in the bloodstream, which poses a significant risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) diseases. Dysregulation in these lipid levels, whether due to genetic predispositions or lifestyle factors, can lead to atherosclerosis and other CV complications. Diagnosis often relies on lipid profile tests, with recommended target levels for optimal CV health. Treatment strategies work to mitigate risks by targeting specific lipid abnormalities, emphasizing lifestyle modifications, and considering comorbidities to individualize care. Given the multifaceted nature of dyslipidemia management, a multidisciplinary approach is essential for comprehensive patient care.This course is designed to provide healthcare professionals with a comprehensive understanding of dyslipidemia, its diagnosis, treatment strategies, and the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in patient care. Throughout this activity, learners explore various aspects of dyslipidemia management. Essential lipids such as cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, and triglycerides, evaluating their roles in physiological processes and the implications of dysregulation are discussed. One of the key themes of this course is the vital role of interprofessional collaboration in dyslipidemia management. Learners gain insights into how collaborative efforts among healthcare professionals, including cardiologists, endocrinologists, nurses, pharmacists, dietitians, and educators, contribute to developing tailored treatment plans for managing dyslipidemia.
