Project ECHO: Preventative Cardiology

ECHO Preventive Cardiology bridges gaps in pediatric cardiovascular care by sharing practical strategies for screening, identifying, and managing children and adolescents with dyslipidemia and cardiovascular risk factors. Designed to build clinician confidence in diagnosing and managing pediatric dyslipidemia, this series will help providers interpret lipid screening results, implement appropriate lifestyle and treatment interventions, and recognize when referral to preventive cardiology may be appropriate.

Join us to enhance your knowledge and expertise as a primary care provider. Together, we can improve the early identification and management of cardiovascular risk in children and adolescents.
