WELCOME IT IS OUR PLEASURE to welcome you to the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association s Cardiometabolic Health and Diabetes Summit. We re pleased that you can join us in Dallas, Texas, and we hope you ll enjoy being engaged in the conversation. The objective of the Cardiometabolic Health and Diabetes Summit is to bring together stakeholders across the continuum of care, including healthcare professionals, organizations, health systems and patients to develop a strategic plan for the next 3-5 years by discussing gaps and potential solutions in cardiometabolic disorder and diabetes management. We ve planned a series of presentations, panel discussions and breakout sessions to discuss barriers of managing cardiometabolic conditions such as diabetes mellitus (type 1 and 2), including communication challenges, treatment and lifestyle compliance. We are looking for actionable strategies leveraging our evidence-based approaches for diagnosis, treatment and long-term management of cardiometabolic conditions. We ve planned a networking breakfast and group discussions where all attendees will be tasked to help develop an action plan. Thank you for being part of this important endeavor. EDUARDO SANCHEZ, MD, MPH, FAAFP Chief Prevention and Medical Officer for Prevention American Heart Association/American Stroke Association Dallas, Texas ROBERT H. ECKEL, MD, FAHA Charles A. Boettcher Endowed Chair in Atherosclerosis Division of Endocrinology, Metabolism, and Diabetes Anschutz Medical Center, University of Colorado Denver Aurora, Colorado

AHA CARDIOMETABOLIC HEALTH AND DIABETES SUMMIT DECEMBER 5 DALLAS, TEXAS SPECIAL THANKS TO THE CARDIOMETABOLIC HEALTH AND DIABETES SUMMIT PLANNING COMMITTEE THANK YOU! Biykem Bozkurt, MD, PhD April Carson, PhD, MSPH, FAHA Martha Daviglus, MD, PhD, FAHA Prakash Deedwania, MD, FAHA Robert Eckel, MD, FAHA Kate Kirley, MD, MS Cynthia Lamendola, NP, MSN, FAHA Anne Sumner, MD, FAHA Tracy Wang, MD, FAHA We thank each of our esteemed presenters and participants for sharing our passion for improving awareness, detection and management of cardiometabolic health and diabetes. Together we can drive millions of Americans to better cardiovascular health and reduce deaths from cardiovascular diseases and stroke.

GOALS AHA/ASA S 2020 IMPACT GOAL: By 2020, to improve the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20 percent while reducing deaths from cardiovascular diseases and stroke by 20 percent WHY A CARDIOMETABOLIC HEALTH AND DIABETES INITIATIVE? Cardiometabolic disorders and diabetes have a significant impact on cardiovascular risk and mortality: Prediabetes: In the United States, 81.6M adults have prediabetes. An estimated eleven percent of persons with prediabetes progress to diabetes annually. Prediabetes is diagnosable and treatable with comprehensive lifestyle programs. Diabetes: Individuals with diabetes are 2-4 times more likely to die from cardiovascular disease than those without diabetes. In the United States, 23.4M adults have physiciandiagnosed diabetes, and approximately 18,000 people <20 years of age are diagnosed with type 1 DM each year. Metabolic Syndrome: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) occurs when an individual presents with three of the following five conditions: increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, or abnormal cholesterol or triglyceride levels. The presence of MetS further increases an individual s risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. MetS affects nearly 23 percent of adults in the United States. Acknowledging the strong links between cardiometabolic conditions and cardiovascular risk, the American Heart Association is expanding its focus to better support individuals living with cardiometabolic conditions and diabetes. To support this, the AHA will launch the Cardiometabolic Health and Diabetes Initiative. This initiative will support a comprehensive approach to the treatment and management of individuals with diabetes, prediabetes and metabolic syndrome, aimed to optimize cardiometabolic risk factors, and ultimately lower cardiovascular risk. www.heart.org

AHA CARDIOMETABOLIC HEALTH AND DIABETES SUMMIT DECEMBER 5 DALLAS, TEXAS SUMMIT GOALS By expanding the AHA/ASA s efforts to include initiatives and programs to reduce the prevalence and impact of cardiometabolic risk factors, such as prediabetes, and conditions, such as diabetes mellitus, the AHA will progress towards its mission of building healthier lives free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke. Building on the AHA/ASA s leadership in developing quality clinical care programs, cardiovascular population-based health programs, public awareness, education, and empowerment, with particular attention to undertreated populations, the AHA would work to unite primary care, cardiology, endocrinology and other specialty care provider communities in a comprehensive approach to caring for and treating individuals with diabetes. By leveraging and elevating existing science, the Cardiometabolic Health and Diabetes Summit will identify opportunities to build programs and initiatives focused on: Bridging and uniting multidisciplinary clinical care to address the needs of individuals living with multiple cardiometabolic comorbidities Increasing patient awareness around cardiometabolic risk and empowering individuals to be engaged in their care at home and in the community Activating communities to effectively address the complex health needs of people living with these chronic conditions Improving the clinical management of prediabetes, diabetes, and other cardiometabolic conditions through comprehensive quality improvement approaches across inpatient and outpatient settings

Her research has shown that neither triglyceridebased screening tests nor A1C screening tests optimally detect either cardiometabolic disease or diabetes in African-descent populations. As prevention of complications of these diseases requires effective early detection, she is working on optimizing screening paradigms for both cardiometabolic disease and diabetes in African-descent populations in Africa and throughout the Diaspora.
