LEARN MORE ABOUT
WHAT IS DYSLIPIDEMIA?
Dyslipidemia is a risk factor for the development of ASCVD (atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease). The World Health Organization estimates that dyslipidemia is associated with more than 50% of global cases of ischemic heart disease, and over 4 million deaths per year. In Lithuania the mortality of ischemic heart disease is 4 times higher than the European union average. Dyslipidemia is an abnormal amount of lipids (e.g. triglycerides, cholesterol and/or fat phospholipids) in the blood. Lithuania is still at the bottom of worst LDL-C (low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol) management in EU and only 10% of high risk patient reach recommended LDL-C level of 1.8 mmol/L1. Managing LDL-C through innovative solutions can reduce the cardiovascular death rate. This requires a multi-faceted approach, and a “Hospiton” hackathon is the perfect platform for collaboration and development of innovative solutions to tackle this challenge.
CHALLENGES
Mortality from cardiovascular diseases in Lithuania is one of the highest in Europe. The rates of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality are almost 2-3 times worse than the European Union average.
Innovating with Data
What is Health Data Track?
This special track is designed to revolutionize cardiovascular care through the use of statin data.
Why This Track Matters?
We encourage participants to create innovations based on health data. We believe Lithuanian innovators will actively use health data in the future and health care providers will share it more as a result of this initiative.
Track moderator
Tomas Lasys, Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacology PhD Candidate, Utrecht University
