Cheeley maps out the resources—courses, certifications, communities, and a retail pharmacy call to action—that can take any pharmacist deeper into lipid management.

Cheeley takes listeners inside her clinical decision-making process—from statin intolerance to PCSK9 inhibitors to omega-3s—and explains why patient buy-in is as important as the prescription itself.

Correcting the misinformation around statins and cardiovascular disease, and reframing Lp(a) as a genetic condition, not a personal failure, can be a powerful clinical tool.

From prior authorization barriers to population health gaps, Cheeley explains why adherence — not initiation — is where pharmacists can make their biggest impact.

New 2026 lipid guidelines push earlier screening, PREVENT risk scoring, and tougher LDL/ApoB targets with expanded nonstatin options.

Mary Katherine Cheeley, PharmD, BCPS, CLS, FNLA, highlights key data and events at the 2026 NLA Scientific Sessions.

Joseph Saseen, PharmD; and Joel C. Marrs, PharmD, discuss key updates in the 2026 dyslipidemia guidelines and their implications for clinical and pharmacy practice.

2026 dyslipidemia guideline updates highlight earlier risk-based lipid management, expanded biomarker use, and a growing pharmacist role in cardiovascular prevention.

Joseph Saseen, PharmD, addresses statin intolerance and misinformation and provides a look at aggressive new LDL targets and emerging therapies not yet captured in the 2026 guidelines.

Joseph Saseen, PharmD, explains the 2026 dyslipidemia guidelines' push for universal lipoprotein A screening, clarifies when apolipoprotein B testing adds value, and outlines how new FDA-approved therapies fit into the updated lipid-lowering treatment algorithm.

Joseph Saseen, PharmD, breaks down how the new PREVENT ASCVD calculator improves on its predecessor and what the expanded LDL-C goal framework means for treatment decisions in pharmacy practice.

Expert consensus highlights more than a decade of advances in screening, diagnosis, and treatment of familial hypercholesterolemia.
