About this Event:
Affecting nearly 1 in 12 Canadian adults, heart disease is a major concern that impacts many families. Modern medicine has devoted a large effort into preventing cardiovascular disease before it happens, and often targets one major risk factor, blood cholesterol levels.
Having an unfavourable cholesterol profile can be scary, and treatment can be confusing, especially for those who have been prescribed medication. This webinar is geared towards those looking to enhance their understanding of what cholesterol numbers mean, understand where and when medication is used, and review current evidence-based strategies to better manage cholesterol and heart disease risk.
Topics covered:
Why cholesterol is measured and how it fits in the context of predicting heart attacks and strokes
How and why the decision to use medication is made
Overview of common cholesterol medications and supplements
Why the basic cholesterol panel is usually not enough- and review of other cholesterol blood tests
Specific, evidence-based non-medication strategies for cholesterol
Cost: FREE
*NEW*- We will have designated time to answer pre-submitted questions during the webinar- these can be submitted when registering for the event.
