TOS/PCNA Joint Symposium: Don’t Go Breaking My Heart - Mechanisms Linking Obesity With Cardiovascular Disease
When: Thursday, 11/3/2022, 10:00 am - 11:30 am
Where: San Diego Convention Center-31ABC
Description: Don't miss the breaking science of the mechanistic links between cardiovascular disease and obesity! This session will bring you up to speed on the most rapidly emerging basic, clinical, and translational research in the fields of heart failure and vascular disease in people with obesity. Attendees will learn from experts in the field about of obesity-related macro- and microvascular dysfunction, the role of sex differences in driving cardiovascular disease in people with obesity and discover new pathways that can be leveraged for treatment.

This session was jointly produced by The Obesity Society (TOS) and Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses Association  (PCNA).
