Lifestyle Strategies for Cardiovascular Health: A Team-Based Approach
Tracking # 20-1350836
Course overview
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. While pharmacotherapy is essential, lifestyle interventions form the cornerstone of prevention and management. Recent guidelines emphasize the need for a multidisciplinary, team-based approach to implement and sustain interventions. Physicians, pharmacists, nurses, dietitians, behavioral health specialists, and care coordinators each play a critical role in supporting patients through education, counseling, monitoring, and motivational strategies. This continuing education activity will equip learners with evidence-based strategies to optimize diet, physical activity, sleep, and stress reduction in patients at risk for or living with ASCVD. Learners will also review the latest data on nutrition patterns, exercise prescriptions, and the impact of social determinants of health on lifestyle modification.
