Dear Colleagues

It is a pleasure to announce the 2nd Postgraduate Course in Cardiometabolic Medicine, a timely and highly acclaimed educational programme conceived by Zurich Heart House – London Heart House, King’s College, and Royal Brompton & Harefield Hospitals, which will address an unmet educational need.

Cardiometabolic disorders represent a cluster of interrelated risk factors, primarily dyslipidemia, hypertension, elevated fasting blood glucose, obesity and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. A combination of several of these risk factors massively increases the incidence and mortality of coronary heart disease and stroke. The strong association between metabolic disorders and cardiovascular health delivers a compelling reason to improve awareness of this cluster by identifying the risk factors and inducing targeted interventions.

The Postgraduate Course in Cardiometabolic Medicine consists of a three-day programme. State of the art lectures alternate with a great variety of interactive sessions, including workshops, rapid fire sessions and hands-on imaging sessions.

The course offers a unique opportunity to become an expert in the seminal area of cardiometabolic medicine. We would be most happy to welcome you at the Royal Society of Medicine in central London to enjoy three days of interactive education for the benefit of your practice and your patients.
Sincerely,

Andrew Krentz
