MEETING REPORT ESH/ISH Annual Meeting
Cardiovascular risk factors – transforming knowledge into practice CONFERENCE OUTCOMES 1-2 MARCH, GUANGZHOU, CHINA Over 130 healthcare professionals who manage hypertension in China, India, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam attended this symposium. Presentations focused on managing CV risk factors to prevent the fatal end of the cardiovascular continuum. Activities were designed to ensure that scientific knowledge could best transform into good clinical practice. This is a key aim of every EXCEMED CME activity.
The event focused on the clinical management of hypertension, using an evidence-based and guideline-driven approach. FOLLOW US HTTP://TWITTER.COM/EXCEMED_CARDIO
CVD remains challenging CVD remains the most common cause of mortality and morbidity across Asia-Pacific, and indeed globally, despite increased knowledge and ongoing research. Treatment of major CVD, including ACS or stroke, presents costly challenges for healthcare systems, without considering the most effective approach for CVD: i.e. prevention. Essential hypertension remains a problem that is often complicated by metabolic disease. Clinicians should regularly review care for every hypertensive patient to ensure they receive appropriate pharmacological treatment. Regimens should follow current evidence-based guidelines, focusing on normalisation of BP values.
