Addressing Residual Inflammatory Risk in ASCVD & CKD with Next-Generation Targeted
About this Event

Activity Overview:

Systemic inflammation plays a central role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), particularly among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), a represents a significant contributor to residual risk among patients living with these comorbid conditions. Novel and emerging treatment options seek to target this residual risk, however their integration into clinical care are challenged by suboptimal assessment of inflammatory risk in practice. For example, while high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) is a valuable biomarker for quantifying residual inflammatory risk, it is significant underutilized in real-world care. In this interactive symposium, expert faculty will seamlessly integrate real-world case vignettes with cutting-edge clinical data and panel discussions to highlight evolving considerations for the role of systemic inflammation in ASCVD and CKD; underscore the potential for emerging inflammation-targeted strategies, such as IL-6 inhibition) to address residual risk; and explore practical strategies to optimize the assessment of residual inflammatory risk in practice.


Target Audience:

This initiative is intended for general cardiology, heart failure specialists, and preventative cardiology, physicians, advanced practice providers, and other HCPs providing cardiorenal/cardiometabolic healthcare (e.g., nephrologists, endocrinologists).


Learning Objectives:

· Describe the role of systemic inflammation in the development and progression of ASCVD and CKD, including the bidirectional relationship between these conditions ​

· Apply evidence-based strategies to optimize the use of hsCRP in assessing residual inflammatory risk and guiding treatment decisions in ASCVD and CKD ​

· Assess emerging therapeutic strategies that target residual inflammatory risk to reduce CV events in patients with ASCVD and CKD, including their mechanisms of action, efficacy, and safety ​

· Evaluate the clinical implications of emerging inflammation-targeted therapies in ASCVD and CKD, including prospective considerations for clinical integration and their potential impact on patient outcomes
