Origins of Cardiovascular Disease: Does Metabolic Disease Always Come First?

Featured Topic — Tuesday, April 24, 2024 — 1:30 PM - 3:00 PM — Convention Center, Room 27

Cardiovascular disease is the number killer in the world, and metabolic disease is thought to be a culprit. However, there is new evidence of a synergistic action between cardiovascular and metabolic diseases to exacerbate the risk for mortality. Therefore, it is 1) important to segregate out the degree to which each of these diseases contribute to this increased risk and 2) the timing of treating one or either to prevent death from cardiovascular disease. It also seems likely that the developmental origins of metabolic disease theory is one way this increased risk for cardiovascular diseases occurs and finding the timing of treating this programmed metabolic disease is crucial.
