What is the CMHC?
The Cardiometabolic Health Congress (CMHC) is is a gathering of 1500+ of the sharpest minds in Dyslipidemia, Type 2 Diabetes, Hypertension , Obesity, Chronic Kidney Disease and Insulin Resistance, as they join world-renown clinicians, academics and prestigious professional societies to explore, debate and translate the latest clinical data into practical and effective strategies to improve patient outcomes. CMHC is a comprehensive medical education meeting that provides clinicians with the tools and treatment strategies to diagnose cardiometabolic risk and treat appropriately to reduce CVD.

The Cardiometabolic Health Congress (CMHC) is thrilled to announce our 2009 program agenda, distinguished faculty, corporate-supported symposia, and educational supporters. This year, approximately 1500 U.S.-based practicing clinicians will join our expert-level forum — translating the latest clinical data into practical strategies to prevent, delay, and manage cardiometabolic risk. CMHC participants will earn up to 30 continuing medical education (CME) credits.

The 2009 CMHC will deliver the most effective, current strategies for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of type 2 diabetes, atherosclerosis, hypertension, dyslipidemia, obesity, thrombosis, chronic kidney disease, and related comorbidities. Join our mailing list to be the first to receive the latest and greatest information regarding the congress.

The biggest health problem facing the world today is from the
combined impact of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
It is critical that physicians and health care providers understand
the predictive relationship between metabolic risk factors and cardiovascular disease and employ aggressive intervention strategies
to prevent and/or delay disease progression.
