The HEART UK conference this year reflected on the current progress to date across a wide range of key areas within the lipidology realm. This included an update on the cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention nationally with a focus on the primary care data resource CVDPREVENT. In addition, there was a spotlight on paediatric FH and an insightful look back on the dramatic progress since the identification of PCSK9 as a lipid treatment target.
