Selecting the Right Contraception for the Dyslipidemic Woman

Host: Alan S. Brown, MD, FACC, FAHA, FNLA
Guest: Robert Wild, MD, MPH, D.Phil.
Recorded live at the recent Annual National Lipid Association meeting, Dr. Alan Brown welcomes Dr. Robert Wild to discuss types of dyslipidemia that clinicans may see in women of child bearing age, particularly those using hormonal contraception. The two discuss ways for clinicians to trace the source of dyslipidemia in these women, from primary to secondary causes, and how this knowledge can guide future contraception choices. Dr. Robert Wild is Professor of OB/GYN and Adjunct Professor in Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the University of Oklahoma. He is also Adjunct Professor in Epidemiology at the University of Pittsburgh, and Adjunct Professor of Nutrition at Oklahoma State University.
