Track: Cardiovascular Endocrinology and Metabolism
.webp)
The "Cardiovascular
Endocrinology and Metabolism" session will delve into the critical
link between metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases, highlighting how
hormones and metabolic dysfunction contribute to heart health. It will explore
the latest research on how conditions such as diabetes, obesity, and thyroid
disorders affect cardiovascular function and increase the risk of heart
disease. The session will focus on emerging treatments that target the
intricate relationship between hormones, metabolism, and cardiovascular health,
presenting new opportunities for prevention and more effective management. Through
these insights, participants will gain a deeper understanding of how optimizing
metabolic health can improve cardiovascular outcomes and enhance overall
patient care.
Diabetes and
Cardiovascular Health: Discuss the intricate relationship between diabetes and
cardiovascular disease, focusing on how hyperglycemia accelerates
atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular complications. Review strategies for
optimizing glycemic control to reduce cardiovascular risk, and explore novel
therapies targeting both metabolic and heart health.
Obesity and
Its Impact on the Heart: Understand how obesity, often associated with
metabolic syndrome, leads to cardiac dysfunction and increases the risk of
heart failure, hypertension, and arrhythmias. Discuss the latest interventions
in weight management, including pharmacological treatments, bariatric surgery,
and lifestyle modifications, to reduce cardiovascular risk in obese patients.
Thyroid
Disorders and Cardiovascular Risk: Explore the effects of thyroid dysfunction
on cardiovascular health, including how hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can
influence heart rate, blood pressure, and overall cardiovascular risk. Learn
about the latest treatment approaches for thyroid disease and their impact on
cardiovascular health outcomes.
Metabolic
Syndrome and Cardiovascular Disease: Delve into the key components of metabolic
syndrome—insulin resistance, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and central
obesity—and their collective impact on cardiovascular disease. Discuss
effective management strategies that target these metabolic abnormalities to
reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
Adrenal
Disorders and Cardiovascular Implications: Explore the relationship between
adrenal disorders such as hyperaldosteronism, Cushing’s syndrome, and
pheochromocytoma and cardiovascular disease. Discuss the diagnostic workup and
treatment approaches for managing these disorders to minimize their
cardiovascular impact.
Insulin
Resistance and Atherosclerosis: Learn about the pathophysiological mechanisms
behind insulin resistance and its role in the development of atherosclerosis.
Discuss the importance of early detection and therapeutic interventions that
target insulin resistance to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events in
at-risk populations.
Dyslipidemia
and Cardiovascular Disease: Gain in-depth knowledge of dyslipidemia and its
crucial role in cardiovascular disease, including the contribution of high LDL
cholesterol and low HDL cholesterol levels to the development of
atherosclerosis. Learn about the latest lipid-lowering therapies such as
statins, PCSK9 inhibitors, and lifestyle changes that can improve lipid
profiles and reduce cardiovascular risk.
Emerging
Therapies in Cardiovascular Endocrinology: Stay updated on the latest
advancements in cardiovascular endocrinology, including new medications and
therapies aimed at targeting metabolic and endocrine pathways to improve
cardiovascular outcomes. Explore novel treatment options such as SGLT2
inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists, and their dual benefits in managing
both metabolic and cardiovascular health.
