INVITATION FROM THE CONGRESS CHAIRPERSON

Dear Colleague,

I would like to draw your attention to the 4th World Congress of Clinical Lipidology which will take place in Vienna, Austria from June 27th to 29th, 2025.

This extraordinary event will provide state of the art educational lectures in the field of clinical Lipidology, focusing on practical lipid management including difficult to treat hyperlipidemias, genetic dyslipidemias, screening, dietary and nutraceutical approaches and case studies. Major emphasis will be given to new therapeutics, diagnosis and management of high risk patients. The speakers are internationally recognized experts in the field of dyslipidemias and will be available for small group discussions and workshops. In addition, debate sessions will highlight topics that are currently controversial.

A diversity of sponsorship opportunities is presented in the prospectus, offering a unique chance to engage with leaders in the field and showcase your brand.
