INVITATION
WELCOME
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Scientific Steering Committee, we have the pleasure of inviting you to attend the third annual
Hyperlipidemia Academy, a highly respected forum in Europe for sharing expert knowledge, education and real-world
experience. This event will be held at the Starling Geneva Hotel, Geneva, Switzerland, on 4–5 December 2015.
This stimulating 2-day meeting will bring together over 350 physicians from across Europe. With an agenda developed
by a European panel of experts, this engaging event will give delegates an important opportunity to hear updates on the
latest data and opinions in the management of patients with hypercholesterolemia. Recently published material on the
inhibition of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) will be considered and discussed with respect to the
potential of newly licensed monoclonal antibodies to help address the needs of patients at high risk of a cardiovascular
event. Throughout the meeting, we will also break out into a number of interactive workshop groups to discuss and
review a series of topical case studies with leading authorities in the field.
The Hyperlipidemia Academy will provide a forum for you to meet a renowned faculty and to establish relationships
with fellow physicians from across Europe.
We look forward to welcoming you to Geneva for what promises to be a highly informative meeting.
