한국지질동맥경화학회 학술대회

In AAS-KSoLA Joint Symposium, we will learn about current insights and future directions on comprehensive strategies for the prevention of atherosclerosis. In the first lecture, Professor Andrew Murphy, an invited lecturer of the Australian Atherosclerosis Society, will present a lecture on emerging biomarkers and anti-inflammatory treatments related to the topics of atherosclerosis and inflammation. In the next lecture, we will learn about the role of digital health technology in managing atherosclerosis. In the last lecture, we prepared an opportunity to hear about the effects of lipid-lowering treatment on the progression of aortic aneurysms and clinical outcomes. This session will provide a comprehensive overview of the research achievements in the basic fields related to the progression of atherosclerosis and the digital management system, as well as the effects of lipid-lowering agents on the progression of aortic aneurysms, which are clinically significant diseases.

This session will explore ethnic-specific characteristics of dyslipidemia, with a focus on Asian populations, and discuss optimal lipid-lowering strategies tailored to diverse clinical needs. The first speaker, Professor Jaehoon Chung from Dongguk University, Republic of Korea, will focus on hypertriglyceridemia and low HDL-C commonly observed in Asian populations, introducing a novel approach to treatment prioritization. Next, Professor Chang Hee Jung from University of Ulsan, Republic of Korea, will discuss the need for combination lipid-lowering therapy in patients for whom statin monotherapy is insufficient, supported by recent clinical evidence. Finally, Professor Hoang Anh Tien from Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Vietnam, will emphasize the importance of personalized treatment strategies that account for ethnic differences between Asian and Western populations, highlighting both regional guideline variations and shared principles. Join us for this session to gain practical insights into diverse lipid management strategies applicable to clinical practice.
