The current European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines recommend five categories of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) for patients following an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) event. However, registry studies have revealed substantial underutilisation of, and non-adherence to, these prescriptions in the real-world setting.

Learn more about GDMT, treatment gaps, and strategies to address them from CORONARY CONNECT member Prof. Dr. Jeanine Roeters van Lennep. View her presentation from the ACS Forum 2020 webinar and download the accompanying slides for more information. This educational content is relevant for cardiologists, including interventional cardiologists, as well as primary care physicians.

The ACS Forum is a medical educational programme supported by an Independent Educational Grant from Amgen.

Jeanine Roeters van Lennep has been working as internist specialized in vascular medicine at the Erasmus Medical Center, Rotterdam, the Netherlands since 2010. She is associate professor and head of the vascular medicine clinic specialized in hereditary dyslipidemia. She combines this research interest with gender-specific medicine. As such, her scientific research is dedicated to cardiovascular prevention, specifically diagnosis and treatment of Familial Hypercholesterolemia and sex-specific cardiovascular risk factors such as pre-eclampsia for which she obtained grants of e.g. the Dutch Heart Foundation and the Dutch Research Council. She is very eager to share her enthusiasm on sex- and gender-specific medicine by organizing educational activities such as the 3-day Gender&Health Course and mentoring junior doctors and researchers. Jeanine has broad leadership experience as board member of various scientific societies. Currently she is chair of the Dutch Society of Vascular Medicine, member of the executive committee of the European Atherosclerosis Society and board member of the Dutch Society of Gender&Health. Moreover she has been chair of the first Dutch Guideline on Dyslipidemia.
