Cardiovascular disease is consistently listed among the leading causes of death worldwide. Obesity, diabetes, lipid disorders and smoking are major risk factors for CVD, however, there is less consensus about other factors.
- Is cholesterol really bad? - What is the role of prolonged stress? - Can exercise really help? Are the diagnostic tools, treatments and interventions available today adequate and safe? - Why is residual risk so high despite the billions of dollars spent on interventions and drugs? - Do we have an adequate healthcare and reimbursement framework to reduce the CVD burden in the 21st century?
Our panel consisting of academic and practicing cardiologists along with scientific experts from the diagnostic and drug industry will share their view on these and related topics and discuss the latest advances in the development of novel and safer therapeutics for CVD.
