Emerging scholarly research and clinical outcomes have revealed the central importance of the vascular system for overall health. Join us for this half-day summit on the advances enabling primary care clinicians and cardiologists alike to improve foundational health in their patient populations. These unexpected connections between vascular and foundational health are illuminated by 3 specific examples: metabolic, cognitive, and sexual function.
Practical tools and resources will be available to attendees.
Key Learnings
- Take a deep dive into root-cause vascular support
- Explore how hyperglycemia affects the endothelial glycocalyx, and resulting dysregulation in the body
- Learn how the the endothelial glycocalyx is a key factor in the maintenance of blood-brain barrier integrity
- Discover the connection between sexual and cardiovascular (CV) health
- Cardiovascular risk stratification and personalized assessment of risk factors
Schedule of events (all times are Eastern)
Only one registration is needed for access to all sessions.
