  • It's Relative: Screening and Treating Familial Hypercholesterolemia
    Host: Alan S. Brown, MD, FACC, FAHA, FNLA
    Guest: Anne Goldberg, MD

    The National Lipid Association Foundation is emphasizing awareness of the most common inherited form of high cholesterol, familial hypercholesterolemia. Endocrinologist Dr. Anne Goldberg, talks with host Dr. Alan Brown about how to recognize and treat this hereditary cause of early onset atherosclerosis. Research has shown that statin treatment should begin when patients are very young. How early in life can we start screening and treating children, and are there differences to consider when treating young male versus female patients?

  • Caring for Un- and Under-Insured Patients on Lipid Therapy
    Host: Alan S. Brown, MD, FACC, FAHA, FNLA
    Guest: Carl Orringer, MD, FACC, FNLA

    The Medicare donut hole, underemployment, and loss of employment can all put patients in situations that make affording lipid medications difficult to impossibl. Host Dr. Alan Brown talks to Dr. Carl Orringer, director of the Lipid Clinic and Preventive Cardiovascular Medicine Program at University Hospitals Case Medical Center, about strategies for working with patients who are having trouble affording their lipid medications. The solutions include pill-splitting when appropriate, discount drug stores, and novel recycled drug repository programs which are available in 38 states. What can we do to help patients whose financial circumstances do not only make medication adherence challenges, but are also related to an unhealthy diet and limited access to opportunities for physical activity.
