Join Us for
AN EVENING OF PEER-TO-PEER EDUCATION
For decades, cardiometabolic medicine has treated the river — the hypertension, the dyslipidemia, the diabetes — and rarely the rain. In a single year, the ACC, ADA, and AHA have converged on a different position: obesity is the upstream driver, and treating it directly is treating cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic disease at its source.
