EXCEMED Blended Education Cardiometabolic disorders in clinical practice: a comprehensive update Live intervention in PRELIMINARY PROGRAMME
Cardiometabolic disorders in clinical practice: a comprehensive update Overview Cardiometabolic disorders are the major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and are intrinsically linked with diabetes, a devastating disease affecting more than 400 million people. Diabetes is the leading cause of cardiovascular disease, end-stage renal disease, blindness and nontraumatic lower-limb amputation, as well as negatively affecting pregnancy outcomes and the nervous system. However, diabetes and its complications can be avoided. A huge number of people suffer from initial alterations in glucose metabolism, known as "pre-diabetes". These people are at higher risk of developing overt diabetes in the coming years, but evidence shows the progression towards diabetes can be halted. Prompt intervention, with significant changes in lifestyle and/or implementation of appropriate pharmacotherapy, are effective strategies to prevent diabetes in at-risk people. To facilitate this, healthcare professionals should be updated with the most recent and compelling evidence about diabetes prevention. For those with overt diabetes, relentless effort should be expended to avoid the debilitating complications of the disease and to increase life expectancy. Knowledge and understanding of the complex pharmacological mechanisms and their clinical implementation will facilitate successful management of diabetes. Like diabetes, thyroid disorders are among the most prevalent endocrine diseases that also impact cardiovascular homeostasis. Unfortunately, a great number of patients with thyroid diseases are undiagnosed, contributing to increased morbidity and reduced quality of life. Therefore, there is a need for clear recommendations allowing for effective and prompt recognition of the most frequent thyroid disorders in order to adequately treat patients and avoid adverse clinical outcomes. Finally, hypertension is still the primary cause of death in the world and medicine is far from establishing adequate control of this cardiovascular risk factor. Recently, new aggressive targets for antihypertensive treatment were proposed, but it is not clear if scientific evidence justifies this therapeutic strategy. Additional discussion surrounds the issue of applying the results of controlled clinical trials to daily life. The role of combination treatment in hypertension and recent novelties in the availability of fixed dose formulations will also be discussed. An EXCEMED Learning Journey EXCEMED is involved in a comprehensive educational blended journey to increase knowledge in cardiometabolic diseases. This programme will address the most recent advancements of research in the areas of cardiometabolic medicine and will discuss the best approaches for clinical management of the complex cardiometabolic patient in daily practice. A multistep approach will be used, encompassing web-based and live activities. All activities in-person and online will involve the full interactivity of learners. Learning objectives By attending this programme, you will be able to: Implement the most cost-effective strategies for diabetes prevention Correctly diagnose thyroid disorders in the general population Identify specific blood pressure targets for each patient with hypertension Target audience This programme is designed for general practitioners, cardiologists, endocrinologists and internists managing diabetes and cardiometabolic diseases in the Asia-Pacific region.

This online educational tool is facilitated by the video-scribing technique and it enables to: understand the importance of an effective diabetes screening learn how to identify subjects at increased risk of diabetes LIBRARY The second exclusive tutorial helps illuminate the content of the live intervention, giving you the head start you need to be fully engaged during the in-person learning. You will also able to share your research and publications with the rest of the community using the library platform, and submit questions directly to faculty ahead of the live intervention. You can look forward to your question being addressed by faculty during theliv Q&A sessions. Features of the interactive library: Literature corner: summarises the key points and related publications for each of the lectures being presented during the live intervention in Ho Chi Minh City. Publications exchange: contains a section for learners to share their research and publications related to your Learning Journey. Question time: a chance for leaners to submit a question for the faculty to answer during the live intervention. 4 5
The live component of the Learning Journey is a combination of frontal lectures followed by interactive Q&A sessions, case-study-based debates, interactive clinical cases and working groups. You will be notified by email when the video lectures, slide kits and a scientific highlights publication from the live intervention are available online. LEARNING OBJECTIVES By attending this live educational conference you will be able to: Acquire knowledge about the obesity and pre-diabetes emergency Personalize diabetes treatment Manage most prevalent thyroid disorders Tailor the appropriate treatment in hypertensive patients Venue This conference will take place at the: Intercontinental Saigon hotel Hai Bà Trưng, Bến Nghé, Quận 1 Continuing medical education The Cardiometabolic disorders in clinical practice: a comprehensive update, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, 08/09/2018-09/09/2018 has been accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME ) with 9 (nine) European CME credits (ECMEC s).
