This session focuses on cholesterol and heart health, offering both practical understanding and deeper clinical insight. Together, we will explore how lipids, including cholesterol and triglycerides, influence cardiovascular risk, and why proactive cholesterol management plays a critical role in preventing heart disease.

Debra Quercetti will share her lived experience navigating cholesterol management as part of her heart health journey, highlighting the real-world challenges, questions, and learnings along the way.

Dr. Rob Hegele will provide a clinical deep dive into how cholesterol works in the body. He will discuss key lipid markers, including lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) and apolipoprotein B (ApoB), and explain why understanding these markers is essential for assessing cardiovascular risk and guiding prevention strategies.
