Conference Description
Rapid developments in methods for cardiovascular (CV) disease risk evaluation and recent advances in pharmacological and procedural strategies for management of cardiometabolic risk factors have significantly improved our ability to identify and treat at-risk patients. Join our internationally renowned faculty for updates on contemporary understanding of cardiovascular disease risk algorithms, polygenic risk scores, biomarkers and CV risk, preventive imaging, and female specific risk factors and learn how to incorporate strategies for personalization of risk assessment for each of your unique patients. Develop skills in recognizing the early, multi-system signs of cardiometabolic disease beyond the heart, including metabolic liver and renal diseases and consider newer pharmacological strategies for organ protection. Targeting obesity is now imperative, particularly in at-risk patients early in the cardiometabolic continuum. Advance your skills in designing a comprehensive management strategy that includes lifestyle, as well as ground breaking anti-obesity medications and surgical approaches to weight management. The landscape of lipid pharmacotherapy has never been more expansive and the most recent expert guidance on incorporation of these agents into clinical practice will be considered. Presentations of complex patient cases from the real-world will stimulate challenging discussions among participants and expert panelists. And just to keep you at the absolute peak of your scientific evidence game, join us for a session on the Top Trials of 2025-26 in preventive cardiology and cardiometabolic health that will impact your patient care!
