The Cardiorenal Connection: Highlighting the Cardiovascular Risk in Chronic Kidney DiseaseIndustry Webcast Sponsored by Labcorp; Not for CME/CE Credit

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) are closely interlinked and can present a challenge for primary care clinicians (PCPs). With approximately 50% of CKD patients experiencing cardiovascular complications, understanding of this relationship and early intervention is crucial for optimal patient outcomes. Join Labcorp’s Dr. Brian Caveney and Dr. Jennifer Ennis for an insightful look at the intricate connections between CKD and CVD, with practical strategies for early detection, risk stratification, and management.

What will be covered:

· Epidemiology of CKD and the prevalence of both traditional and nontraditional cardiovascular risk factors

· The essential role of PCPs in implementing guideline-based recommendations for early detection, risk stratification, and timely referral for patients with CKD and CVD

· Evidence-based treatment approaches focused on reducing CKD progression and cardiovascular risk in this prevalent patient population

The integration of CKD management into primary care practice is vital for reducing the burden of both CKD and CVD. PCPs are well positioned to implement evidence-based guidelines, ensuring comprehensive care and improved patient outcomes.
