Estimated Time of Completion: 1 hour, 30 minutes
Description
The Diabetes and the Heart webcast series is composed of selected presentations from Diabetes and the Heart: A Clinical Summit on Critically Challenging Patients, a live symposium held August 6-7, 2009. The Summit was the inaugural educational activity of the Joslin Diabetes Center and Cleveland Clinic partnership.
With the increase in prevalence of the cardiometabolic syndrome and its comorbidities, the need to optimize preventive and therapeutic interventions is a major focus of most clinicians in primary care. Certainly, clinicians must recognize the signs and symptoms of the cardiometabolic syndrome and initiate early and effective preventive interventions. However, timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment are equally as important to reduce eventual morbidity and mortality.
Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant will be able to do the following:
- Identify the role of visceral fat in comparison with subcutaneous fat in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and coronary artery disease in patients with diabetes.
- Identify the clinical interventions that may reduce visceral fat.
- Describe the pathophysiology of diabetes and obesity.
- Discuss the mechanism of action of various bariatric procedures on diabetes improvement.
- Recognize the relative risks and benefits of bariatric surgery specific to diabetes and cardiac disease management.
- Describe the indications and contraindications of bariatric surgery.
Target Audience
Primary care physicians, endocrinologists, cardiologists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses and other allied healthcare professionals will find this webcast valuable in their daily practice.
