Lipidhealth.org Corner

Recent improvements and a more user-friendly look to the website of the National Lipid Education Council have elicited positive feedback from visitors to the site. The homepage now offers more navigational tools than before and links users directly to the section they want.

SPOTLIGHT: The newest series of interactive case studies is now online and ready for your participation! This challenging CME activity is one of the most visited areas of lipidhealth.org. Each series features two case studies and offers 1 hour of CME credit (AMA and AAFP). Test and expand your knowledge while obtaining credit without leaving your home or office. You'll be challenged as to how you treat these patients, from first presentation through follow-up management. The section will expand throughout 2002.

Among many other interesting highlights on the NLEC website:

	Slide Library: We have one of the most extensive and inclusive slide libraries in the industry. Feel free to browse or download slides, notes, or both on a variety of topics relating to cholesterol lowering, lipids, and cardiovascular issues in general.
	LipidManagement™ Newsletter: Read our quarterly newsletter online, whether it's the most recent issue or any archived issue. You can also take the end-of-the-year posttest for CME credit. It's timely information; it's interesting reading; and it's convenient for the busy clinician. New this year is the patient-education page, entitled Considering Cholesterol.
	Current Literature: Here you'll find abstracts on the latest and most influential cardiovascular-related articles arranged by topic. In most cases, links are supplied to the full text. There also is an updated keyword section that enables you to go directly to specific topics.
	Interactive Polls: Take our surveys and see how your vote compares with those of your colleagues. (See above)
	More: lipidhealth.org also offers a CD-ROM presentation, daily news articles by Reuters, helpful resources, industry meetings schedules, plus other items of interest. There is always something new!
