CARDIOMETABOLIC HEALTH CONGRESS

Cardiovascular Disease

As the leading cause of death worldwide, cardiovascular disease is one of the most debilitating and well-recognized manifestations of cardiometabolic decline. Coronary artery disease, heart failure, peripheral artery disease, and arrhythmia are just some cardiovascular diseases that lead to lower quality of life, increased mortality, and significant health care costs.
