17th Annual Cardiometabolic Health Congress On-Demand
Hundreds of practitioners gathered in Boston in October 2022 for the annual conference from Cardiometabolic Health Congress (CMHC). In the past 17 years, this medical conference has grown to be the biggest and most-anticipated event in evidence-based education for the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cardiometabolic diseases and risk factors. The On-Demand program includes all recordings from the general sessions of the live meeting; CME Symposia are posted as separate activities within the CMHC Educational Platform.
Target Audience
The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of US-based healthcare professionals, including cardiologists, endocrinologists, lipidologists, primary care clinicians (PCPs), registered nurses, advanced practice registered nurses, dieticians, pharmacists, and other allied health professionals involved in the management and treatment of cardiometabolic patients.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Discuss the interrelationships among cardiometabolic risk factors and their impact on the development of cardiometabolic diseases, including diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity, kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease.
- Interpret the latest evidence and guidelines for the prevention, screening, and treatment of the complex patient with cardiometabolic risk or cardiometabolic disease.
- Outline strategies aimed at timely screening and prevention of cardiometabolic disease, including assessment of risk factors and biomarkers, and lifestyle modifications.
- Develop individualized treatment regimens for patients with cardiometabolic disease based on the efficacy and safety of current and new pharmacotherapies, patient comorbidities and preferences in order to optimize outcomes.
- Summarize recent evidence for emerging therapies in order to stay current with the most recent updates in the cardiometabolic field.
- Review the impacts of aging on cardiometabolic risk, as well as best practices for the prevention and treatment of cardiometabolic risk and disease in older adults.
