Connecting the Dots: Inflammation's Impact on ASCVD and CKD

 

The Connecting the Dots: Inflammation's Impact on ASCVD and CKD is a free 90-minute virtual symposium recording where attendees will learn about the complex relationship of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease (ASCVD), systemic inflammation, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Recording will be made available in April 2024.
