Guest guest Posted May 21, 2009 Report Share Posted May 21, 2009 now this speaker wouldn't be a government employee by any chance..................... On a similar theme, Bev Cox spoke about managing lipids to reduce cardiovascular risk. Bev is an engaging speaker and the audience held onto her every word, as she outlined the advantages of statins and the guidance from NICE and QOF. Her advice was that statins are extremely effective and can help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in most patients. Patients are cautious about side-effects and what statins will do to them, but with regard to targets, when asking the question posed by the title of the talk, "Statins - how low do we go?" - the answer, according to Bev, should be "as low as possible"! http://www.nursinginpractice.com:80/default.asp?title=NursinginPracticereturnstoManchester & page=article.display & article.id=16734 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
