The 5th Annual Heart in Diabetes (HiD) Conference will take at the Sheraton Times Square Hotel. The meeting provides a platform that strengthens communication and cooperation among diverse specialties, specifically cardiology, endocrinology, nephrology, internal medicine, and primary care.

 

Key sessions will cover diabetes, cardiometabolic conditions, and COVID-19; the contemporary approach to ASCVD and diabetes; recent diabetes publications in cardiology; diabetes and CVD in women and diverse populations; the impact of obesity on diabetes, the kidney, and the heart; dyslipidemia; cardiovascular outcomes trials; guidelines update; advanced technology’s role and sleep apnea’s impact on metabolism; and the interaction of heart failure and CKD.

 

Each session will promote lively discussion through panels and debates with robust opportunities for the audience to interact with faculty. The meeting will feature abstracts with the newest research which will be published in the American Heart Journal.

 

The 2021 Luminary in Cardiometabolic Medicine Award will be presented to Robert Eckel, MD, who will give a keynote lecture on September 11, 2021, entitled “Lipids, Obesity, Metabolic Syndrome, Diabetes and the Heart—My Professional Journey.”
