Replay: Closing Lecture
Objectives of the meeting
A significant number of patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD) have concomitant metabolic comorbidities which play a causal and/or permissive role in adverse prognosis.
The primary objective of the meeting is to improve the recognition and treatment of CVD in patients with multiple metabolic comorbidities.
The meeting also aims to assess potential mechanism-based approaches to intervention across multiple disorders.
Questions to be addressed
How can we improve recognition and treatment of cardiovascular disease in patients with obesity, insulin resistance, NASH, and renal disease when associated with metabolic comorbidity?
How can we improve the recognition and treatment of metabolic and renal disease in patients at the cardiology clinic?
Are there mechanism-based approaches that can address multiple pathologies across diseases?
What is important to patients with cardiovascular and metabolic diseases? How can we meet their needs?
Why may COVID-19 be particularly damaging for patients with cardiovascular and metabolic disease?
Can we move from broad regulatory definitions to better targeting patients with multiple comorbidities?
