Intensive glucose reduction alone has not been able to lower the risk of major cardiovascular events. This program will improve understanding of critical cardiometabolic risk factors that contribute to the increased cardiovascular risk in patients with acute coronary syndrome and will focus on a comprehensive approach to reduce events in patients with type 2 diabetes. The learner will receive the latest updates on the value of glycemic, lipid and hypertension control, as well as a detailed review of the potential role of dual PPAR agonists for event reduction in this high risk patient population.</li> <li class="sponsor">This activity is supported by an educational grant from Genentech.</li> </ul> <script type="text/javascript"> </script> <div class="cme-tab-group"> <ul id="layout_0_maincontent_1_ctl00_tabs" class="cme-tabs"><li><a class="current" href="javascript:void(0)">CME Information</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20130926152454/http://www.healio.com/cardiology/education-lab/2013/01_january/above-and-beyond-glycemic-control-reducing-the-risk-of-cvd/pretest">Pretest</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20130926152454/http://www.healio.com/cardiology/education-lab/2013/01_january/above-and-beyond-glycemic-control-reducing-the-risk-of-cvd/welcome-and-plutzky">Macrovascular Disease in T2D</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20130926152454/http://www.healio.com/cardiology/education-lab/2013/01_january/above-and-beyond-glycemic-control-reducing-the-risk-of-cvd/wright">Reducing CV Events in T2DM</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20130926152454/http://www.healio.com/cardiology/education-lab/2013/01_january/above-and-beyond-glycemic-control-reducing-the-risk-of-cvd/lincoff">Examining Therapeutics</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20130926152454/http://www.healio.com/cardiology/education-lab/2013/01_january/above-and-beyond-glycemic-control-reducing-the-risk-of-cvd/case">Case Study</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20130926152454/http://www.healio.com/cardiology/education-lab/2013/01_january/above-and-beyond-glycemic-control-reducing-the-risk-of-cvd/q-and-a">Q & A</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20130926152454/http://www.healio.com/cardiology/education-lab/2013/01_january/above-and-beyond-glycemic-control-reducing-the-risk-of-cvd/posttest">Posttest</a></li> <li><a class="disabled" href="javascript:void(0)">Evaluation</a></li> </ul> </div> <div class="top-btnbox"><div class="earn-cme-btn"><a href="/web/20130926152454/http://www.healio.com/cardiology/education-lab/2013/01_january/above-and-beyond-glycemic-control-reducing-the-risk-of-cvd/posttest"></a></div><span class="login-note">You must be logged in to Healio.com to see this activity.</span><input type="submit" name="layout_0$maincontent_2$ctl10" value="" class="btnNext" align="right" style="margin:1px 0;"/></div> <a name="content"></a><div class="content"><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Sponsorship Statement:</strong></span> This continuing medical education activity is sponsored by <img width="77" height="19" alt="Vindico Medical Education" src="/web/20130926152454im_/http://www.healio.com/~/media/Images/Education Lab/Provider Logos/VindicoLogo4web.gif"/>. </p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Support Statement:</strong></span> This activity is supported by an educational grant from <img width="110" height="29" alt="genentech_sm.gif" src="/web/20130926152454im_/http://www.healio.com/~/media/Images/Education Lab/Provider Logos/genentech_sm.gif"/>.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Target Audience:</strong></span> This activity was developed for cardiologists, endocrinologists, and other healthcare professionals involved in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD).</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Learning Objectives:</strong></span> At the conclusion of this activity participants should be able to: </p> <ol> <li>Review cardiovascular and cardiometabolic risk factors that contribute to microvascular and macrovascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes.</li> <li>Compare the mechanisms of action, safety, and efficacy of therapeutics that offer glycemic control and that may potentially reduce cardiovascular disease risk.</li> <li>Evaluate clinical and cardiovascular outcomes data on the treatment of patients with type 2 diabetes who have experienced or are at risk for acute coronary events, to enable physicians to choose optimal medical regimens that significantly reduce cardiovascular risk in their patients.</li> </ol> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Course Chair:</strong></span><br/> <strong>R.
