Join host Dr. Peter H. Jones for a special episode of Lipid Insights discussing the 2026 ACC/AHA/Multisociety Guideline on the Management of Dyslipidemia. Dr. Jones is joined by guideline author and NLA Past President Dr. Joseph Saseen and NLA President-Elect Dr. Dinesh Kalra to break down what clinicians need to know.

From the restoration of LDL-C treatment goals and major conceptual shifts from the 2018 guideline, to primordial and primary prevention, risk assessment, special populations, and real-world implementation challenges, this episode covers it all. The panel also explores the guideline’s expanded scope beyond LDL-C to include triglycerides, Lp(a), ApoB, and more.

This is a must-listen episode for anyone involved in dyslipidemia management.
