I am proud to represent the Northeast Lipid Association (NELA) as president, and in my 30th year of clinical lipidology. At the start of my practice at the the VA Medical Center (VAMC), lovastatin and ATP-1 were just introduced. In these 30 years of practice LDL-C targets have changed from 130mg/dL to less than 70mg/dL.

Great organizations thrive by looking forward, and the National Lipid Association is no different.
In looking forward, we must have a vision of how we will continue to grow our brand and membership, which ultimately helps advance the practice of clinical lipidology. NLA leadership, along with some special invited guests, met in Orlando for a Strategic Planning session in January to define exactly what that vision looks like.

The National Lipid Association (NLA) welcomes the results of the REVEAL trial which demonstrated that reductions in cholesterol levels with anacetrapib were associated with a reduction in cardiovascular events. Specifically, cholesterol drug anacetrapib produced reductions in low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, non-high density lipoprotein (non-HDL) cholesterol levels, lipoprotein(a) levels and a profound increase in high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels. These favorable lipid changes were associated with a significant reduction in cardiovascular events
The National Lipid Association and the Foundation are thankful once again for another successful year of meetings and fundraising. But we still have much work to do.
