The National Lipid Association announced on Wednesday its support of the Lipoprotein(a) Foundation’s efforts to promote a new ICD-10 Diagnostic-Code for high Lp(a).
The NLA believes the new code will be beneficial in identifying lethal risk factors in patients. To further support this initiative, NLA members are encouraged to email the ICD-10 Coordination and Maintenance Committee before November 13, 2017.
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.

What triggered your interest in medicine?
Most of us who go into medical fields are natural rescuers. As a little girl, I filled up drawers in my house for broken popsicle sticks, rocks and other inanimate objects that looked broken or old – infirmaries in every drawer – my poor mother.
What motivates you to continue your career in medicine?

The Southwest Lipid Association (SWLA), Chapter of the National Lipid Association (NLA), met in Phoenix, AZ during the Spring Clinical Lipid Update. A major theme the SWLA is focusing on is getting more involvement and engagement of members in a team based approach. Clinical lipidology is a growing field but can sometimes feel quite lonely with so few of us in the specialty of clinical lipidology.

Mr. P is a 63-year-old male with a known history of coronary artery disease (CAD) who developed chest pressure and tightness while riding his motorcycle in the White Mountains in Northern Arizona. Since there wasn’t much traffic, he continued to ride but soon began to feel clammy and nauseated. Fortunately, he was able to get to the next town and went to the local hospital, where he underwent cardiac evaluation. He was found to have non-ST-segment elevation-acute coronary syndrome.
