14th Annual World Congress on Insulin Resistance, Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease (WCIRDC)

14th Annual World Congress on Insulin Resistance, Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease (WCIRDC) is organized by Metabolic Endocrine Education Foundation and would be held during Dec 01 - 03, 2016 at Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City, Universal City, California, United States of America.

Target Audience :

This educational initiative is designed for cardiologists, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, oncologists, family physicians, internists, diabetologists, OBGYNs, pediatricians, dieticians, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and any other health care professionals who are interested in insulin resistance, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, and multiple metabolic mechanisms’ effects on health and society, as well as on potential treatment and prevention.

The program is designed to evaluate both the clinical and basic science aspects of diabetes, obesity, dyslipidemia and CVD, by focusing on insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, fat cells, the heart, the kidneys, and energy metabolism. The goal is to understand its pathophysiology, and to develop appropriate comprehensive clinical management plans.

Upon completion of this meeting, participants should be able to:
• Provide comprehensive management of diabetes, by addressing obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and cardiovascular risks.
• Discuss the role of obesity in the development of cardiometabolic conditions
• Discuss the role of incretins in the management of obesity, diabetes, and prevention of CVD
• Be aware of the results of cardiovascular outcome trials and understand the potential role of SGLT2i & GLP1ra in managing Diabetes and CVD
• Evaluate the extent of macrovascular and microvascular disease in diabetes and obesity
• Address the risks of heart disease in patients with diabetes
• Explain the role of lipids, in particular low-density lipoprotien (LDL-C) and non- HDL-C, in the development of atherosclerosis.
