Russell B. Melchert, Ph.D.

UMKC School of Pharmacy
This one hour continuing education topic is focused on the new

products have been developed that utilize entirely different mechanisms to get at
treating these devastating diseases. Beyond the traditional approaches we now
have novel “biologic” treatments for a variety of cardiovascular disease. Please join
us as we examine these new agents and their novel mechanisms of action.
Upon completion of this continuing education program, the learner will be able
to:
1. Describe the mechanism of action when using alirocumab and evolocumab
to lower plasma LDL cholesterol.
2. Describe the advantages and disadvantages of using alirocumab and
evolocumab to lower plasma LDL cholesterol.

hypertension.
