President’s Message
Raul D. Santos
IAS President
It’s my honor as president of the IAS to welcome the newly elected Board members for 2022-2024. The new Board will be led by President-elect Peter Libby, who assumes the Presidency on January 1, 2022. You can find the names and information on each candidate in this newsletter and on the IAS website. This year we had a wonderful group of candidates who stepped forward to run for our open president-elect and director positions. I thank each of our candidates for their continued service to IAS.
I’m pleased to announce that the Global ASCVD Trends and Emerging Strategies series has been completed. This series, consisting of nine (9) videos, is aimed at medical professionals to comprehensively address LDL-C risk in the prevention of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACE). Our goal is to close knowledge and practice gaps, reduce clinician uncertainty, and demonstrate how the guidelines and evidence can be applied in a practical manner. The videos, recorded in English, are also available with subtitles in Arabic, Chinese, Portuguese, and Spanish. The series is available in the IAS Education Center (IASEC). While there, check out the other informative programs available.
