Overview / Abstract: |
Target Audience This educational program is directed toward all attendees of the 2021 ASCP Internal Medicine Meeting. We invite primary care physicians, diabetologists, endocrinologists, cardiologists, certified diabetes educators, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other health care providers who treat patients with T2D to participate in the online enduring program. Program Overview Type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) share several risk factors as well as targeted treatment strategies. Although impaired glucose metabolism plays a central role in the pathology of CV complications in patients with T2D, several studies have demonstrated that CV risk cannot necessarily be reduced simply by achieving a therapeutic glucose goal. The focus on glucose control is shifting; it is expanding to include a comprehensive and ongoing assessment of patients’ CV risk. This Community Practice Connection™ program provides an in-depth review of some of the key highlights from the webcast Utilizing Real-World Evidence to Optimize Outcomes in Type 2 Diabetes Regarding Cardiovascular Disease and CV Risk, held at the ASPC 2021 Internal Medicine meeting in July 2021. This unique and engaging multimedia activity is ideal for the community-based clinician and focuses on the practical aspects of managing patients with T2D and CVD, putting recent trial data into clinical context. The program is designed for those who did not attend the live meeting and to help reinforce learnings for those who did. Learning Objectives Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Review current treatment guidelines for the reduction of CVD risk in patients with T2D |
