Thursday, October 23, 2014
CME Breakfast Symposium A • 6:15 – 7:45am
The Triglycerides Conundrum:
Practical Clinical Guidance for Reducing Residual CV Risk
Harold E. Bays, MD (Chair); Eliot A. Brinton, MD; Scott M. Grundy, MD, PhD
Hypertriglyceridemia is an increasingly relevant issue facing clinicians in their
routine practice. Our faculty will address current controversies in triglyceride
management and provide expert insight on how to effectively manage
persistently elevated triglycerides in patients who remain at high CV risk. This
symposium will evaluate triglyceride-lowering therapies, with a focus on
omega-3 fatty acids, comparing and contrasting data on their safety,
tolerability, lipid-lowering effects and cardio-protective benefits.
CME Lunch Symposium A • 12:45 – 2:15pm
Obesity Management 2014: New Perspectives and
Therapeutic Options for a Growing Problem
Robert H. Eckel, MD (Chair); Jamy D. Ard, MD;
George A. Bray, MD; Michael D. Jensen, MD
Type 2 diabetes and obesity are very much intertwined and treatment
of each disease affects the other. This symposium will explore obesity’s
biologic causes, clinical consequences, and the expanding armamentarium
of weight control methods, especially in those special populations affected
by prediabetes and diabetes. Clinicians will refine their ability to evaluate
comorbidities and select obesity therapies that are safe, effective and
individualized for patient needs.
Supported by an educational grant from Amarin Pharma, Inc.
Supported by an educational grant from Novo Nordisk, Inc.
CME Breakfast Symposium B • 6:15 – 7:45am
Confronting Racial and Ethnic
Disparities in Cardiometabolic Disease
Laurence S. Sperling, MD (Chair); Gary A. Puckrein, PhD;
Keith C. Ferdinand, MD; JoAnne M. Foody, MD; Kris Vijay, MD
Multiple mechanisms interact in complex ways to contribute to health status,
including social class, genetics, personal health behavior and utilization of medical
care. Our faculty will provide systemic approaches to reduce disparities and proven
clinical strategies to combat cardiometabolic disease in ethnic minority populations.
This symposium is jointly provided by the American College of Cardiology, in
collaboration with the National Minority Quality Forum and Association of Black
Cardiologists.
Sponsored by the American College of Cardiology in collaboration with the National
Minority Quality Forum and the Association of Black Cardiologists | Supported in
part by educational grants from Arbor Pharmaceuticals and Merck & Co.
CME Lunch Symposium B • 12:45 – 2:15pm
Closing the Gaps in the Continuum of Care for Patients
with Acute Coronary Syndromes: Implications for Optimal Antiplatelet Use
Deepak L. Bhatt, MD, MPH (Chair); Jeffrey L. Anderson, MD;
Robert A. Harrington, MD; P. Gabriel Steg, MD
The manifestations of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) are associated with
high morbidity and mortality. This symposium will provide an update on
major U.S. guideline recommendations concerning the use of P2Y12 inhibitors
in patients with ACS. Our faculty of internationally recognized experts will
present and analyze clinical trial data on the available P2Y12 inhibitors,
with an emphasis on clinical data in high-risk patients such as the elderly,
those with diabetes, and those with a prior history of stroke. Attendees will
leave this activity better able to individualize antiplatelet therapy, improve
outcomes and minimize hospital readmission rates.

Evolving Strategies for LDL-Lowering: Novel Target and
Treatments for CVD Risk Reduction
Terry A. Jacobson, MD (Chair); Eliot A. Brinton, MD; Sekar Kathiresan, MD;
Evan A. Stein, MD, PhD
CME Breakfast Symposium A • 6:15 – 7:45am
Optimizing Antihypertensive Therapies in High-Risk and
Difficult-to-Treat Patients with Hypertension
George L. Bakris, MD (Chair); Keith C. Ferdinand, MD;
Thomas Giles, MD; Michael A. Weber, MD
The latest CVD prevention guidelines published by national organizations have
diverted significantly from previous recommendations in that they abandoned
target goals for lipid parameters in favor of focusing on statin treatment for
high-risk patients. While statins remain first-line therapy in LDL-C reduction,
patients continue to experience residual risk or are unable to tolerate statins.
Despite well-established risks, hypertension remains under-treated and,
when treated, often stubbornly difficult to control. This symposium seeks to
improve guideline adherence and help clinicians integrate antihypertensive
therapies into the management of high-risk patient populations including
the elderly (those 65 and older), African Americans, patients suffering from
heart failure, the obese, and individuals with diabetes and/or the metabolic
syndrome. Case-based clinical scenarios and a panel discussion will clarify
how best to integrate effective therapies into the management of patients
with hypertension to reduce global cardiometabolic risk and improve clinical
outcomes.
Supported by an educational grant from Sanofi US and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals
CME Dinner Symposium A • 7:00 – 9:00pm
The Wide Spectrum of Familial Hypercholesterolemia:
Discovering Your Highest Risk Patients and Optimizing Treatment
Seth J. Baum, MD (Chair); Catherine Davis Ahmed; Sarah de Ferranti, MD, MPH;
Patrick M. Moriarty, MD; Pamela B. Morris, MD; Scott Radabaugh
Worldwide, there are at least 20 million people with familial hypercholesterolemia
(FH). Despite the availability of effective treatment options and the prevalence of
the disease, FH is both underdiagnosed and undertreated. This symposium will
address knowledge and practice gaps in the identification and management of
patients with severe FH. The faculty will provide expert recommendations for
diagnosing FH and cascade family screening, and will present the most current
evidence on novel therapeutic options. Patient Advocates from The FH Foundation
will share their personal experiences with this life-threatening disease and efforts to
improve awareness and encourage proactive treatment.
Supported by educational grants from Aegerion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and
Genzyme, A SANOFI COMPANY | Endorsed by The FH Foundation
CME Dinner Symposium B • 7:00 – 9:00pm
Novel and Emerging Combinations to Achieve Glycemic Control and Reduce
Cardiometabolic Risk: A Focus on Incretin-Based Therapy and SGLT2 Inhibitors
George L. Bakris, MD (Chair); Mark E. Molitch, MD;
Sunder Mudaliar, MD; Richard E. Pratley, MD
Newer treatment options, including sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2)
inhibitors, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1
(GLP-1) receptor agonists, and several fixed-dose combinations are available or
are under development and may change the treatment paradigm for T2DM. These
evidence-based therapies have the potential to work synergistically in combination
with other available interventions to achieve glycemic control and to reduce
overall cardiometabolic risk for individuals with T2DM. This symposium will keep
clinicians apprised of new clinical trial data and developments and discuss how to
appropriately integrate these newer and emerging therapies into clinical practice.
Supported by an educational grant from AstraZeneca
Supported by an educational grant from Forest Laboratories, Inc.
CME Breakfast Symposium B • 6:15 – 7:45am
Innovations in GLP-1 Receptor Agonist Therapy:
Individualized Treatment Strategies to Overcome Barriers and Reduce
Cardiometabolic Risk in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
John B. Buse, MD, PhD (Chair); Samuel Dagogo-Jack, MD; Richard E. Pratley, MD
Some of the newer Type 2 diabetes therapies, including GLP-1 receptor
agonists, do not carry the same limitations as traditional therapies. This class
of drugs has been shown to improve global cardiometabolic risk factors and
to improve the function of beta cells, rather than just address hyperglycemia.
Our faculty will help clinicians understand the differences between GLP-1
receptor agonists, not only in terms of their mechanisms of action, but in
terms of their impact on glucose control, beta cell function, and cardiovascular
risk factors such as body weight, blood pressure, and lipid profiles. A review
of current guideline recommendations will help clinicians appropriately
integrate this class of medications into clinical practice to improve outcomes
in the management of type 2 diabetes.
Supported by an educational grant from Lilly USA, LLC
CME Breakfast Symposium C • 6:15 – 7:45am
New Targets and Treatments for LDL Lowering: Role of PCSK9 Inhibitors
Christie M. Ballantyne, MD (Chair); Michael H. Davidson, MD;
Marc S. Sabatine, MD, MPH; James A. Underberg, MD
Hypercholesterolemia is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases,
increasing the incidence of myocardial infarction and death. However,
patients on statin therapy who fail to reach their LDL-C treatment
goal due to intolerance, poor therapeutic response, or severe familial
hypercholesterolemia have few effective therapeutic options. Recent genetic
insights have revealed novel therapeutic mechanisms that provide further
LDL-C reductions on top of statin therapy. PCSK9 inhibitors are an emerging
drug class designed to target and suppress the PCSK9 protein that prevents
the body from removing LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream.

Michael Miller, MD; Dariush Mozaffarian, MD, DrPH
CME Dinner Symposium A • 7:00 – 9:00pm
Improving Awareness and Outcomes in Lipodystrophy Syndromes:
Clinical Manifestations, Diagnosis, and Evolving Therapeutic Strategies
Abhimanyu Garg, MD (Chair); Rebecca J. Brown, MD;
Elif A. Oral, MD; Andra Stratton
Triglycerides are an increasingly important consideration when assessing
cardiovascular risk. This symposium will address the prevalence of untreated
hypertriglyceridemia and the importance of managing triglycerides to
reduce cardiovascular risk. Recognized experts will discuss current guideline
recommendations for hypertriglyceridemia and present data on new and
emerging treatment options with a focus on comparing and contrasting
the clinical data on prescription omega-3 fatty acids and novel combination
therapies.
This symposium, endorsed by Lipodystrophy United (LU), will discuss the
signs and symptoms of lipodystrophy, a rare disorder characterized by
selective loss of adipose tissue. If not adequately treated, patients with
lipodystrophy remain at risk for severe life‐threatening complications and
chronic morbidity, such as pancreatitis, end-stage liver or renal disease,
accelerated atherosclerosis, and cardiomyopathy. The faculty will explain
the metabolic consequences of the disease and present evidence-based
treatment recommendations. A Lipodystrophy United Patient Advocate
will provide the unique perspective of an individual living with the
disease to help overcome common barriers to early recognition and
treatment.
CME Lunch Symposium B • 12:30 – 2:00pm
New Frontiers in Obesity Management:
Advances in Neurobiological Treatment Strategies
Caroline M. Apovian, MD (Chair); Louis J. Aronne, MD;
Lee M. Kaplan, MD, PhD; Joshua Thaler, MD, PhD
New discoveries related to physiologic neuroendocrine mechanisms that
mediate appetite regulation and energy balance as well as the relationship
between obesity and related comorbidities have created a need for
education. This symposium will review the recent advances in knowledge
regarding the neurobiological basis of obesity, the complexities of central
nervous system (CNS) involvement, and how new and emerging therapeutic
options work with the CNS to regulate body weight. Attendees will receive
guidance on how to select obesity therapies that are safe, effective, and
individualized to support obese patients during various stages of weight
loss.

Individualizing Therapy in Patients with Stable Ischemic Heart Disease:
Managing the Full Spectrum of Comorbidities and Cardiometabolic
Risk Factors
JoAnne M. Foody, MD (Chair); Suzanne V. Arnold, MD;
Deepak L. Bhatt, MD, MPH; Peter H. Stone, MD
Approximately 10 million individuals in the U.S. have angina, with 500,000
new cases being diagnosed each year. Cardiovascular risk reduction
for patients with Stable Ischemic Heart Disease (SIHD) should focus on
appropriate evaluation and diagnosis of symptoms to guide treatment
and management of concomitant risk factors. This symposium will review
the updated guidelines for the diagnostic and treatment of patients with
SIHD, with a focus on select comorbidities, such as gender, heart failure,
and diabetes. Faculty will also discuss appropriate risk-stratification and
decision-making strategies to determine which patients should receive
revascularization and which patients should be managed with medication.

CME Dinner Symposium B • 7:00 – 9:00pm
Integrated Management of the Complexities of Cardiometabolic
Diseases: A Patient-Centric Team Approach
Lawrence Blonde, MD; Honey E. East, MD;
Martha M. Funnell, MS, RN, CDE; Daniel M. Riche, PharmD
Implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act has
increased the emphasis on collaboration and teamwork in chronic
disease management, the medical home and patient self-management.
This unique symposium will discuss the challenges of managing the
complex cardiometabolic patient and ways in which a multidisciplinary
team approach with a focus on patient empowerment can reduce
morbidity/mortality and improve long-term patient outcomes. Expert
faculty will provide case examples demonstrating strategies for providing
integrated care to type 2 diabetes patients with multiple risk factors.
Supported by an educational grant from Merck & Co., Inc.
Saturday, October 25, 2014
CME Breakfast Symposium • 6:15 – 7:45am
Overcoming Obstacles in Obesity Management:
New Tools, Techniques, and Treatment Strategies
Louis J. Aronne, MD (Chair); Caroline M. Apovian, MD;
Harold E. Bays, MD; Thomas A. Wadden, PhD
Lifestyle interventions focused on diet, physical activity and behavioral
therapy are essential to treating obesity and should be incorporated
throughout the continuum of care. While some individuals do manage
to lose weight through diet and lifestyle changes, long-term weight loss
and maintenance is difficult to achieve for many. New and emerging
pharmacologic therapies have the potential to significantly impact the
management of obesity and reduce the associated cardiometabolic risk.
During this symposium, expert faculty will review the mechanisms of
action and clinical and safety profiles of prescription weight loss agents,
describe effective patient counseling techniques for achieving and
maintaining weight loss, and provide techniques to develop a weight
and complications-centric approach to obesity management.
Supported by an educational grant from Eisai, Inc.

TITLEOVERVIEW
PROGRAM
Statement of Need*
The ever-increasing presence of cardiometabolic risk
continues to be a major challenge for health care
professionals in the United States. The prevalence of most
cardiometabolic risk factors – especially hyper
tension,
diabetes, and obesity – continues to rise. In the years ahead,
American physicians should expect to treat unprecedented
numbers of patients at high risk for morbidity and mor
tality
from cardiovascular disease. In 2000, approximately 32% of
U.S. adults had the metabolic syndrome, a constellation of
cardiometabolic risk factors including excessive abdominal
fat, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and hyper
tension.
In more recent years that fi gure has climbed to 34%, and it
may even be as high as 38%, depending on the criteria used
to defi ne the syndrome.
Target Audience & Learning Objectives
The CMHC is designed for advanced-level clinicians
responsible for the prevention, diagnosis, and
management of cardiometabolic risk.
At the end of the congress, par

3.
Patients with multiple cardiometabolic risk factors have twice
the likelihood of developing and dying from cardiovascular
disease and more than seven times the risk of developing
diabetes, compared to those with no cardiometabolic risk
factors. As the number of these patients increases, the
burden of cardiovascular disease can be expected to increase
in the United States as well. Unfor tunately , cardiovascular
disease already aff ects approximately 82.6 million U.S. adults
and is the leading cause of U.S. deaths. According to the
American Hear t Association, cardiovascular disease causes
more than 800,000 deaths each year – more than cancer and
accidents combined. This is an average of more than 2,200
deaths per day , or one death ever y 39 seconds.
Conclusion
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Supported by an educational grant from AstraZeneca
Health care professionals play a major role in stemming
the future burden of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and
associated comorbidities by employing aggressive strategies
for the early identifi cation and comprehensive management
of patients presenting with multiple cardiometabolic risk
factors. The 2014 Cardiometabolic Health Congress will
translate the latest cutting- edge medical research into
practical, clinical approaches for preventing, delaying, and
managing cardiovascular and metabolic risk
. The goal is
to provide the medical community with evidence
-based
inter ventions to improve health outcomes and quality
of life for the growing numbers of patients at increased
cardiometabolic risk.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW & ACCREDITATION
Statement of Need
Physician Credit
The ever-increasing presence of cardiometabolic risk continues to be a
major challenge for health care providers in the United States. Current
estimates suggest approximately 23% to 38% of all U.S. adults have
metabolic syndrome, a constellation of cardiometabolic risk factors,
including excessive abdominal fat, insulin resistance, inflammation,
dyslipidemia, and hypertension. Patients with multiple cardiometabolic
risk factors have twice the likelihood of developing and dying
from cardiovascular disease and more than seven times the risk of
developing diabetes compared with those with no cardiometabolic
risk factors. Cardiovascular disease already affects approximately 83.6
million U.S. adults (greateer than 1 in 3) and is the leading cause of U.S.
deaths; however, this CVD burden can be expected to increase.
