Course Overview
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Hypertension and diabetes are among the foremost risk factors for the development of cardiovascular diseases, including stroke, peripheral artery disease, and heart attack. Several advances have been made in recent years to improve our ability to prevent the development and progression of cardiovascular disease. This program will provide an overview of recent advances that target the underlying pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease. The focus of the program will be on the use of SGLT 2 Inhibitors and GLP-1 agonists to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and progression of kidney disease, monitoring and management of hypertension in special patient populations, and common lipid issues in patient care.
