Cardiac Risk Factors, Blackjack and Bayes’ Theorem

This comprehensive lecture will delve into the latest recommendations on high cholesterol, hypertension, smoking cessation, and diabetes. Get insights into primary and secondary prevention of cardiac risk factors, discover the major risk factors behind first myocardial infarction, and learn about the best practice clinical application of society recommendations.  Attednees will: 

  1. Understand how pretest probability assists us in patient care (Bayes’ Theorem.)
  2. Review the diagnosis of hypertension, secondary hypertension and first line medications.
  3. Understand the diagnostic criteria for diabetes (NIDD) as well as initial medications.
  4. Review the evidence for optimizing a patient quitting smoking.
  5. Evaluate hypercholesterolemia and treatment options.

Making Sense of SGLT2 Inhibitors and MRAs: Where to Use in Everyday Practice

Emerging data surrounding SGLT2 inhibitors and MRAs exists, but uptake remains low. This talk will discuss the current clinical evidence and supporting guidelines.  At the end of this session, attendees will be able to: 

  1. Identify gaps in current treatment of cardiovascular disease.
  2. Discuss the pharmacokinetics of SGLT2 inhibitors and MRAs.
  3. Discuss latest guidelines and emerging data surrounding SGLT2 inhibitor and MRA utilization.
  4. Develop new clinical strategies to help their individual patients with cardiovascular disease and CKD associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
