PHILADELPHIA — In this Healio video exclusive, Yehuda Handelsman, MD, FACP, FNLA, FASCP, MACE, co-chair of the Heart in Diabetes CME Conference, discusses the mission and purpose of the meeting.
“It’s a unique meeting because it puts together cardiologists, endocrinologists and nephrologists, addressing the areas of intersection of the heart and kidney, perhaps the liver, with diabetes,” said Handelsman, who is medical director and principal investigator of the Metabolic Institute of America in Tarzana, California. “It represents the very top faculty ... globally.”
The agenda included “areas that are less visited when we are discussing cardiorenal metabolic conditions,” including type 1 diabetes, cardiomyopathy and amyloidosis, he said.
