+ Include: 13 videos + 1 pdf, size: 7.59 GB
+ Target Audience: cardiologists, nephrologists, hospitalists, primary-care clinicians, endocrinologists, advanced practice providers
+ Information:
A practical, case-based meeting at the intersection of cardiovascular and kidney disease. Faculty translate current evidence into coordinated care pathways that improve outcomes for patients with CKD, HF, diabetes, and hypertension across inpatient and ambulatory settings.
What You Will Learn
Integrated risk stratification for CKD, ASCVD, and heart failure—including how to stage, phenotype, and prioritize therapy
Guideline-aligned use of SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 RAs, MRAs (finerenone), RAAS blockade, diuretics, and lipid-lowering therapy
Blood pressure in CKD/HF: targets, combinations, hyperkalemia mitigation, and resistant HTN algorithms
HF in CKD: congestion assessment, diuretic strategies, GDMT initiation/titration with renal monitoring
Diabetes and CKD: glycemic goals, medication selection by eGFR, hypoglycemia prevention, and kidney-protective pathways
AKI and contrast strategies in cardiac patients; peri-procedural kidney protection
Anemia, bone-mineral disease, and metabolic complications that impact CV risk
Team-based coordination: cardiology–nephrology co-management, pharmacy support, and patient education tools
Event Details
Format: Live lectures with case panels, multidisciplinary debates, and concise take-home checklists
Structure: Thematic blocks (risk/prevention, therapeutics, HF/CKD, diabetes/CKD, complications, systems of care) designed for next-day implementation
