16th Annual Orange County Symposium for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention: Strategies for Success is organized by University of California, Irvine (UCI) School of Medicine and will be held on Nov 02, 2024 at Sue Gross Auditorium, Irvine, California, United States of America.

Description:
The Orange County Symposium for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention is designed to fill knowledge gaps in the fast-evolving field of preventive cardiology. Primary care providers, cardiologists, endocrinologists, lifestyle interventionists, and other specialists will be updated this year on: 

• How practices from hunter gatherer populations inform us about preventing heart disease 
• Role of the mammogram and breast arterial calcification in informing women of their cardiovascular risk 
• Importance of inflammation as a major cause of cardiovascular disease
• Role of epigenetics in cardiovascular disease prevention 
• How polygenic risk scoring can inform precision cardiovascular care 
• Importance of social determinants of health in preventive cardiology 
• Nutraceuticals in cardiovascular disease prevention 
• Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and CVD – What’s the Connection? 
• The new Cardio-Kidney-Metabolic Syndrome and its importance in cardiovascular disease 
• Lipoprotein(a) as the new frontier in cardiovascular prevention 
• GLP1-RA therapy in obesity management and the prevention of cardiovascular disease 
• Triglyceride Rich Lipoproteins and Why They are Important
