This session is a joint session between KSoLA and Japan Atherosclerosis Society. This session is organized to build and maintain intimate relationship between the two societies. The topic of this session is how to develop new guidelines for Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in Asia. The first talk will be given by Prof. Yoshihiro Miyamoto from National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center in Japan, entitled ‘Risk stratification of Japanese Patients with Dyslipidemia: Perspective for the Future ASCVD Guidelines’. The second talk will be presented by Prof. Sung Hoon Yu from Hanyang University in Korea, with the title of ‘Current Status of Risk Factors and Prediction Models for Risk Stratification on ASCVD in Korea’. The third talk will be presented by Prof. Hiroyuki Daida from Juntendo University in Japan, with the title of ‘Lipid management of Secondary Prevention in Japan: Difference from the West’ and the last talk will be presented by Prof. In-Kyung Jeong from Kyung Hee University in Korea with the title of ‘New Treatment Guideline of Dyslipidemia in Korea’. This session will be very helpful for better understanding the therapeutic strategies to manage the dyslipidemia and prevent the ASCVD.

This is a joint session between Korean Society of Lipid and Atherosclerosis (KSoLA) and International Atherosclerosis Society (IAS).

The first speaker is Prof. Jang Hyun Choi from UNIST, Korea, who will talk about PPAR gamma phosphorylation and metabolic disease. The second talk will be given by Prof. Matsuzawa Yuji from Osaka University in Japan, the former president of IAS. He will speak about the role of HDL and CETP in the prevention of atherosclerosis.
