University of Toronto Cardio-Rheumatology Symposium
Cardiovascular Diseases in Rheumatic Conditions: Unmet Needs and Emerging Insights in Treatment
On September 26, an international team of experts will discuss the latest evidence on the management of rheumatic patients at higher risk of cardiovascular disease. This symposium will focus on three core themes: menopause, imaging of the heart, and weight-loss strategies.
The event features a global series of speakers, with panel discussions from experts describing their own experiences, along with case-based learning, and networking breaks throughout the day. Question and Answer sessions will follow each lecture to encourage interaction and audience participation. The symposium is offered in-person at Women's College Hospital in Toronto, Canada, and live-streamed online.
