Cardio-metabolic Dialogues 2

The meeting will be held at Imperial College London’s Translation and Innovation Hub on Thursday 8 November 2018, and will explore the latest concepts, techniques and developments in cardio-metabolic science. Invited faculty will deliver this innovative, intense, educational programme, covering the emerging association between diabetes, heart attacks, renal events and stroke. The programme includes a mix of presentations to discuss how the data and topics covered can be implemented into everyday practice.

What will I learn?

By attending this one-day meeting you will acquire new knowledge and understanding about:

• The relationship between diabetes and heart attacks and strokes, pathophysiology and epidemiology

• The emerging association between diabetes and heart failure including the burden of disease, epidemiology and pathophysiology

• The role of glycaemic control, lipid lowering and blood pressure control in the prevention of cardiovascular disease among those with diabetes

• The benefits of novel therapies on glycaemic control and cardiovascular outcomes focusing on GLP-1 agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors

• The pathophysiology of renal complications in diabetes and therapies that reduce these complications

• The relationship between severe daytime & nocturnal hypoglycaemic episode, CV events, mortality and the frail patient

• The logistical requirements to improve patient exposure to best diabetes care after a major CV event

• The latest data guiding optimal lipid and hypertension management for patients with CKD, T2DM and treatment following a cardiovascular event.
