Cardiometabolic Advanced Practice Module (APM) is organized by Institute for Functional Medicine (IFM) and will be held during Feb 01 - 03, 2018 at Loews Atlanta Hotel, Atlanta, Georgia, United States of America.
The target audience for this medical event is Cardiologists. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 17.5 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits.
Course Description :
This course will focus on chronic inflammation, systemic influences on the immune system, and the consequent dysfunction that may ensue. The Immune APM will supply you with an in-depth understanding of underlying immune mechanisms and enable you to develop effective interventions even in the absence of a conventional diagnosis.
Course Objectives are :
• Applying expanded definitions and assessment techniques to detect and classify altered body composition for identification of patients with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.
• Improving patient outcomes by integrating analysis of new biomarkers linked to CVD risk factors.
• Evaluating patient readiness for fitness programs and collaborating with patients to create easy-to-follow, effective exercise prescriptions.
• Analyzing patient CVD risk factors using risk-calculation methods that expand upon the Framingham risk calculation approach.
• Recognizing the role of stress in the development and progression of cardiovascular and metabolic disorders, and employing techniques to measure and mitigate the effects of stress.
• Understand new concepts in the diagnosis and management of hypertension.
• Applying advanced lipoprotein testing to broaden and improve the assessment of CVD risk and more sensitively guide lipid-modifying treatment plans.
• Creating individual treatment plans using specific nutrients, phytonutrients, botanicals, pharmaceuticals, dietary plans, stress reduction techniques, and other lifestyle interventions to prevent or reverse the progression of CVD, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes.
Additional details will be posted as soon as they are available.
