INTRODUCTION

Credit Hours: CME 1.00

Target Audience:

Faculty, residents, fellows, and community physicians in General Internal Medicine and subspecialties.

Educational Objectives:

Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:

  • Describe mechanisms responsible for increased heart failure in diabetes
  • Review the relationships between diabetes therapies and heart failure
  • Review the contribution of aberrant glucose metabolism to the pathophysiology of heart failure
  • Identify the common links between glucose metabolic pathways in heart failure and cancer


Abstract

Dr. Abel’s research has been continually funded by the NIH since 1995, producing groundbreaking insights in the fields of diabetes and heart failure. By characterizing the mechanisms of aberrant glucose metabolism, Dr. Abel’s laboratory has tied mitochondrial dysfunction with cardiovascular complications. As a leading figure in biomedical research, mentorship, and health systems leadership, we are excited to host Dr. Abel. Please join us for his talk titled, “(Glucose) Metabolism a Common Soil Linking Diabetes Mellitus, Heart Failure, and Cancer?”
