Overview

Polygenic risk scores (PRS) are transforming cardiovascular prevention by enabling earlier identification of inherited risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. In this webinar, Dr. Fahed reviews the evidence supporting PRS and their recognition as risk-enhancing factors in the 2026 ACC/AHA Dyslipidemia Guidelines, highlighting their role in risk stratification and precision cardiovascular prevention.
