Track: Diabetes and Cardiovascular Health

Diabetes Congress 2025

Impact of Diabetes on Heart Health
Understanding how chronic hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and metabolic dysfunction contribute to cardiovascular damage.
Exploring the role of endothelial dysfunction, arterial stiffness, and accelerated atherosclerosis in the development of cardiovascular disease in diabetic patients.
Highlighting the clinical consequences of cardiovascular complications, including coronary artery disease, heart failure, and stroke, in patients with diabetes.

Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Diseases in Diabetic Patients
Identifying key modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in people with diabetes, such as dyslipidemia, hypertension, obesity, and chronic inflammation.
Discussing the significance of "cardiorenal syndrome" and its dual impact on cardiovascular and kidney health in diabetic patients.

Managing Hypertension in Diabetic Patients
Exploring the complex relationship between diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease.
Highlighting evidence-based approaches for blood pressure management in diabetic patients, including the use of antihypertensive medications such as ACE inhibitors, ARBs, and calcium channel blockers.

Emerging Therapies for Cardiovascular Protection in Diabetes
Reviewing the role of new classes of medications, such as GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors, in reducing cardiovascular risk for diabetic patients.
Discussing ongoing clinical trials investigating novel therapeutic agents that aim to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients.

The Role of Lifestyle Interventions in Reducing Cardiovascular Risk
Exploring the role of lifestyle modifications, including dietary changes, physical activity, smoking cessation, and weight management, in reducing cardiovascular risk in diabetic patients.
Highlighting evidence from lifestyle intervention trials, such as the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and Look AHEAD (Action for Health in Diabetes) studies.
