Prof Borge Nordestgaard and Dr Christian Bork discuss the EAS 2026 Consensus Statement on Lipid Clinic Organisation and Funding, drawing on insights from a global survey of more than 500 lipid clinics. They examine what characterises a high-performing lipid clinic, how specialised lipid services can be effectively integrated into healthcare systems, and the funding models that may improve access to care.
This programme provides a focused spotlight on the latest developments and data presented at the European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) Congress. Through a series of sessions, recorded at EAS and contributed by various faculty members, each offers concise analysis of late-breaking trial data, sub-analyses, and the clinical implications shaping contemporary lipid management.
Key Learning Objectives
- Identify suitable patients for ApoC-III initiation using validated scoring parameters
- Recall the most recent guidance for the use of ApoC-III inhibitor therapy
- Discuss emerging clinical evidence of TG-lowering therapies across important trial sub-populations
Target Audience
- Cardiologists
- Lipidologists
- Gastroenterologists
- Endocrinologists
- Other specialists associated with the management of familial chylomicronaemia syndrome (FCS)

Part 1
A Deep Dive Into the Data: Targeting ApoC-III Special Populations
The burden of hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) spans a broad and diverse patient population, from rare genetic disorders such as familial chylomicronaemia syndrome (FCS) to mixed hyperlipidaemia and familial dyslipidaemias. Current treatment strategies, including statins and fibrates, remain limited in their ability to adequately control triglyceride levels in many patients, highlighting the need for education around emerging therapeutic classes. ApoC-III–targeted therapies are demonstrating significant TG-lowering potential and are increasingly being evaluated across a wider range of patient populations, including those with FCS.
In this video, Dr Erin Michos (Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, US) provides a deep dive into data presented at EAS 2026, targeting APOC-III in special populations.

Part 2
In Context: A Peer-To-Peer Discussion on ApoC-III in Special Populations and Other Emerging Data
The burden of hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) spans a broad and diverse patient population, from rare genetic disorders such as familial chylomicronaemia syndrome (FCS) to mixed hyperlipidaemia and familial dyslipidaemias. Current treatment strategies, including statins and fibrates, remain limited in their ability to adequately control triglyceride levels in many patients, highlighting the need for education around emerging therapeutic classes. ApoC-III–targeted therapies are demonstrating significant TG-lowering potential and are increasingly being evaluated across a wider range of patient populations, including those with FCS.
In this video, Dr Michos (Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, US) is joined by Dr Christie Ballantyne (Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, US) for an in-depth discussion on real-world implications and clinical decision-making around applying emerging guidance and evidence in severe hypertriglyceridemia and FCS. They review evolving guidelines and what emerging data tells us about managing complex patient populations.
