Patients with clinically established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) are at very high risk of recurrent major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Recently, The European Society of Cardiology published a clinical consensus statement on obesity and cardiovascular disease to highlight the need to address obesity as a critical factor in the secondary prevention of CVD. This clinical audit applies latest international and Australian guidelines to review the management of 5 patients with established ASCVD who are also overweight or obese. In addition to exploring traditional treatments including lifestyle modifications, blood pressure management, lipid lowering, and antithrombotic therapy, the audit incorporates latest recommendations for addressing residual CV risk using weight loss pharmacotherapy that is also indicated for MACE prevention.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is largely preventable with a number of modifiable clinical factors accounting for the majority of risk. The absolute risk approach is potentially more than twice as effective at reducing death from coronary heart disease as the individual risk factor approach. This session will help you implement the absolute risk approach, including use of Heart Health Checks.

The importance of vaccination for older adults is widely recognised, however vaccine coverage in this group is sub-optimal. Australian data shows shingles/herpes zoster vaccine uptake is less than 50% in eligible adults, substantially lower than influenza vaccine uptake. In this webinar, learn about the importance of adult vaccination and considerations when recommending shingles/herpes zoster vaccination.

This activity has been designed to enable GPs to identify, manage and support patients with liver disease. As liver disease affects up to 3 of every 10 Australian adults and primary liver cancer is the most rapidly rising cause of cancer death, GPs must be able to identify progressive liver fibrosis and provide early treatment of liver diseases to prevent premature mortality. Liver disease now affects up to 3 of every 10 Australian adults. Primary liver cancer is the most rapidly rising cause of cancer death. Health promotion, prevention, proactive case-finding, early identification of progressive liver fibrosis and early treatment of liver diseases are essential to prevent premature mortality. Learn how to identify, manage and support your patients with liver disease.

GPs must be able to assess the severity of liver fibrosis in primary care and guide their patients' future management to determine the need for referral to secondary care or management in primary care. This course will help GPs to understand the additional steps that are required to ensure that the underlying cause is determined and addressed.

This course provides an overview of liver disease and looks at what GPs need to know about this very important area. Liver disease now affects up to 3 of every 10 Australian adults. Primary liver cancer is the most rapidly rising cause of cancer death. Health promotion, prevention, proactive case-finding, early identification of progressive liver fibrosis and early treatment of liver diseases are essential to prevent premature mortality.

Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine and metabolic disorder amongst women in Australia, affecting 5-10% of women and girls of reproductive age.Insulin resistance is likely to be a significant risk factor forPCOS development. Women with PCOS are also more likely to have higher blood pressure and elevated blood lipid levels, placing them at increased risk for type two diabetes and cardiovascular disease. While there are many proposed mechanisms for the development of PCOS, the standard Western diet, high in fat and overall calories may contribute to PCOS etiology.Dietary modifications are recommended as a first-line therapy for the management of PCOS, yet many GP are not confident in providing nutrition support to patients.

Approximately 1 in 3 Australians are at risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) which accounts for around 17% of hospitalisations and 11% of all deaths. Because 90% of kidney function can be lost before symptoms manifest, only 10% of people with CKD are aware they have this condition. This means that over 1.5 million Australians are unaware they likely have CKD yet it is still under-recognised and may go undiagnosed.Prevention, early detection and treatment are especially important for kidney disease because chronic kidney damage is most often permanent. The two most common and significant risk factors of CKD are diabetes and high blood pressure, which are responsible for up to two-thirds of cases. andlt;grammarly-desktop-integration data-grammarly-shadow-root="true"andgt;andlt;/grammarly-desktop-integrationandgt;

There are a number of health conditions that are prevalent in men, particularly those living in Western countries. It is well documented that unhealthy diets and lifestyles can affect quality of life in men and contribute to conditions such as erectile dysfunction and prostate cancer. Erectile dysfunction can be a warning sign for increased risk of future atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events and has been referred to as a “canary in the coal mine”. The consumption of a plant-based diet may decrease this risk. Epidemiological studies have also indicated that vegetarian or vegan diets may confer a lower risk of developing prostate cancer.Furthermore, poor nutrition is a leading cause of health loss in Australia and has the potential to put men at risk of many chronic diseases and premature death. The leading cause of death for men in Australia is cardiovascular disease, followed by dementia and lung cancer. Stroke and prostate cancer are also in the top 5 causes of death in Australian males. andlt;grammarly-desktop-integration data-grammarly-shadow-root="true"andgt;andlt;/grammarly-desktop-integrationandgt;
