The objective of this program is to communicate the importance of addressing cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes. The program will cover data on prevalence, morbidity, mortality, and intensive versus conventional glucose lowering on macrovascular complications. In addition, the program will review guidance from leading medical associations that is based upon completed cardiovascular outcome trials of antihyperglycemic medications in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to devastate American patients, holding steady as the leading cause of death for adults.[1] Further, vascular disorders are correlated with worse outcomes for COVID-19 and many other conditions. The prevention of vascular and endothelial dysfunction must be a priority for all clinicians today.
Emerging research prompts us to recognize the vital importance of supporting endothelial health to improve cardiovascular outcomes. Rapid advances in biomedical research technology have brought a critical structure called the endothelial glycocalyx (EGX) into the spotlight for vascular health. Simply stated, you cannot have a healthy endothelium without a healthy EGX. This essential and delicate structure can be damaged by many common conditions, including high blood glucose, inflammation, aging, oxidative stress, and other conditions.
In this webinar, you will learn how the lining of the endothelium (the endothelial glycocalyx, or EGX), may be the often-overlooked element for restoring vascular health.
