Recent survey shows need for triglyceride testing and improved reporting by health care providers
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (September 2014) — In response to recent survey findings, the National Lipid Association (NLA) announces a nationwide educational campaign to raise awareness within target consumer audiences. Their goal is to encourage patient education and drive discussions around lipid management and the resulting consequences for high cholesterol and triglycerides.
From University of Miami: For Carl E. Orringer, M.D., the newest faculty member in the Cardiovascular Division, the move from Cleveland to Miami is a homecoming. Orringer is a triple ’Cane, with a B.A. in chemistry (1970), an M.D. (1974) and a residency at Jackson Memorial Hospital (1977). Thirty-seven years later, he’s back, bringing with him a high-profile cardiovascular disease-prevention program that he developed.
“Everything is coming full circle,” Orringer said. “I feel an allegiance to UM, and bringing the program here is my way of saying thank you.”
The 2013 Impact Factors were recently released and the Journal of Clinical Lipidology (JCL) saw a significant increase — from 2.741 (2012) to 3.587. The Journal is now ranked 53rd out of 254 journals in its category (pharmacology and pharmacy).
