What is the CMHC?
The Cardiometabolic Health Congress (CMHC) is a gathering 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 2012 Cardiometabolic Health Congress (CMHC) will take place October 10-13, 2012, at the Westin Boston Waterfront, in Boston, MA. The CMHC is currently working to design the 2012 curriculum to provide 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 2012 CMHC program agenda and faculty.

The 2011 CMHC took place October 19-22, 2011 at the Sheraton Hotel, in Boston, MA, and was our most successful program yet. Over
1300 U.S.-based practicing clinicians joined our expert-level forum — translating the latest clinical data into practical strategies to prevent, delay, and manage cardiometabolic risk.

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.

“Excellent conference!
Well organized in terms of choosing speakers and topics. Loved the case discussions. Definitely coming back next year!”
