## Resource

This week primary care physicians Kate Rowland, Mark Ebell, Gary Ferenchick and Henry Barry tackle 4 new POEM-worthy studies: new therapy for elevated triglycerides, cannabinoids for chronic pain in adults, the best antithrombotic for patients with AF + drug eluting cardiac stent, and lower versus standard LDL targets for patients with heart disease Essential Evidence Plus: https://www.essentialevidenceplus.com/ Lower triglycerides: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41211918/ Cannabinoids for pain: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41429020/ Antithrombotics for AF + stent: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41211917/ LDL target 55 vs 70 for CAD: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41910315/
