As a professional organization, the National Lipid Association's mission has been to reduce the morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease by increasing the understanding of the pathophysiology, and detection and optimal treatment of lipid disorders. Developing patient registries is crucial to this mission by pooling patient data concerning more rare dyslipidemias so that epidemiologic and/or clinical research can be more focused.

The National Lipid Association (NLA) has named Matthew Ito, PharmD (’86), as its new president. Membership of the NLA includes physicians, pharmacists, researchers, nurses, physician assistants and dietitians.
