| IAS - Pfizer IGCL Grant Update |
The IAS - Pfizer Grant External Review Panel is in the process of reviewing and evaluating the full proposals prepared by our 16 winners of the LOI selection process. These proposals focus on projects addressing how to improve care for patients with medium or high levels of cardiovascular risk, with a particular focus on dyslipidemia. The evaluation process is very detailed and complex and includes more than 13 criteria all of which will carry a different weight in analyzing the proposals. The results will be available in April. We are very excited about the potential impact of these activities worldwide and appreciate the input from our member societies and their membership. Many thanks to all those who have contributed to the development and submission of the Letters of Intent as well as the Full Proposals currently under review.

Lipid Management Guidelines have merit if they are clear and focused on treating the patient. But with so many now available, there is great confusion in many parts of the world and much discussion about which of the many guidelines should be adopted. You have probably heard that the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA) have recently released new guidelines for lipid management. In addition, there are the lipid guidelines from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) and European Atherosclerosis Society (EAS) and also many other country specific guidelines.
