Lipids Online - Educational Resources in Atherosclerosis and Coronary Heart Disease

Lipids Online - Educational Resources in Atherosclerosis and Coronary Heart Disease: Developed by Baylor College of Medicine, Lipids Online provides up-to-date resources for researchers, faculty, and clinicians in atherosclerosis and other lipid disorders.

About the Lipids Online Slide Library

The Lipids Online Slide Library is a collection of educational talks by the Editorial Board on the current approaches to managing atherosclerosis and other lipid-related disorders. Each talk contains slides, talking points, references that are linked to PubMed, and key words that allow you to find additional slides on a similar topic. Each talk can be individually viewed or the slide library can be searched by key word to assemble a custom presentation. Talks and customized presentations can be downloaded into PowerPoint on your computer.

A talk can be accessed by clicking on a title below or through "Slide Library" on the navigation bar at the top of this page. More information about an author of a talk is available by clicking on the author's name.

Some talks are offered for CME credit. CME activities can be accessed by clicking on "View as a CME Activity" below the author's name.

If you have questions about how to use the Slide Library, please visit Slide Library Help.
