Course Description

This conference focuses on dietary and lifestyle strategies to reduce risk for cardiovascular disease and related comorbidities, such as hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and hypertension. The course will highlight the latest clinical and scientific data for strategies to improve lifestyle factors for cardiovascular risk reduction and is designed to equip clinicians to help their patients achieve optimal cardiovascular health. The morning sessions will examine the data surrounding increasingly common approaches to eating – low carbohydrate/keto and “anti-inflammatory” diets in relation to cardiovascular risk. Expert faculty will share medical knowledge and the latest studies in areas of nutrition controversy including the consumption of alcohol and eggs.

The course will take a deep dive into GLP-1 receptor agonists, covering the cardiovascular benefits, role in obesity management, nutritional considerations, and discuss the role of nutrition counseling for patients using GLP-1 receptor agonists. This course will help bolster the clinician’s approach to counseling patients on sleep hygiene, current approaches to sleep apnea treatment, and assessment of physical activity. Attendees will also learn how social and environmental barriers to health contribute to cardiovascular health disparities.

A presentation on reimbursable shared medical appointments (a.k.a. group medical visits) focused on healthy behavior change will explore the benefits of this innovative care delivery model for improving long-term health, increasing patient access, and promoting provider joy.

A presentation will explore the role of toxic metals on cardiovascular risk and share late-breaking results from TACT-2, a clinical trial assessing the impact of chelation therapy on cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes. Attendees will be educated on efforts to define Long COVID or post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), highlighting a new point system, the impact of PACS on the cardiovascular system, and updates on the national RECOVER initiative. Didactic sessions, debates, and expert panel sessions provide different methods of engaging with the course content. Question and Answer sessions serve to encourage audience participation.

Educational Objectives

After participating in this activity, clinicians should be able to:

  1.  Explain physiological short- and long-term impact of adherence to a low-carbohydrate/ketogenic diet and how to utilize this information when counseling patients
  2. Describe how the microbiome gut microbiome impacts obesity and cardiovascular disease and how to utilize this information when counseling patients
  3. Describe the current data surrounding red wine/alcohol and egg consumption for cardiovascular disease and how to best utilize this information when counseling patients
  4. Describe how novel weight-loss therapies can be appropriately prescribed to address obesity and reduce cardiovascular risk and how to counsel patients on nutritional considerations when taking the medications
  5. Describe how to integrate assessment of physical activity and exercise counseling into their practice
  6. Describe how the duration and quality of sleep effects cardiovascular disease risk and means to assess for and treat sleep apneas closely tied to multiple cardiovascular comorbidities
  7. Outline the potential benefits of virtual shared lifestyle medical appointments on an individual and community level to help combat chronic disease, including cardiovascular disease
  8. Describe the biobehavioral factors that contribute to cardiovascular disease disparities and identify strategies for healthcare professionals that support culturally inclusive practices while promoting health equity
  9. Describe key symptoms of long COVID and better evaluate patients who may be suffering from cardiovascular effects of post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC)
  10. Describe the impact of toxic metals on cardiovascular risk and the effectiveness of chelation therapy (EDTA) as a novel treatment to address cardiovascular risk in T2D patients

Target Audience

Cardiologists, internists, general and family practice and integrative medicine providers, endocrinologists, and any physician with an interest in cardiovascular risk reduction, advanced practice providers, medical trainees, nurses, dietitians, and other allied health care professionals with an interest in the prevention of heart disease
