Trending3.5(New)

Olive Oil, Lipids and Cardiovascular Risk is a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) course designed for healthcare professionals working in primary care, cardiology, pharmacy, dietetics, nursing, endocrinology, public health, and chronic disease management. The course provides an evidence-based overview of lipid metabolism, cardiovascular risk assessment, the Mediterranean diet, and the emerging evidence supporting olive oil as part of cardioprotective nutrition strategies. Cardiovascular disease remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Dyslipidaemia, hypertension, obesity, diabetes, smoking, sedentary behaviour, and chronic inflammation all contribute to cardiovascular risk. Advances in lipid assessment and preventive cardiology have improved clinicians’ ability to identify at-risk patients and implement targeted interventions.
