About CaReMeLO
Cardiac disease, chronic kidney and liver disease and metabolic derangements like type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and their risk factors share etiologies and pathophysiologic mechanisms. These novel insights and their therapeutic implications have been recognized and adopted by cardiology, nephrology and endocrinology alike. Yet a need exists for a multidisciplinary scientific platform that unites all interested parties and serves as a unique gathering, devoting time to in-depth Cardiovascular, Renal, Liver, Metabolic and Obesity discussions.
The conference will continue to spotlight the pivotal role of family physicians in the integrated management of cardio-renal-metabolic (CRM) syndrome, steatotic liver disease, and obesity (CaReMeLO), with an enhanced focus on the SGLT2Inb, GLP-1R agonist and the dual GIPR/GLP-1R agonist.
