Welcome to our whole person care webinar series on vascular and endothelial health. Each series includes three focused 30-minute sessions that unlock practical strategies in labs, supplement ingredients, and lifestyle medicine, empowering you to provide truly comprehensive care.
Session #1: Assessing metabolic dysfunction
Speaker: Kenneth W. French
Senior Clinical Consultant, Quest
Increased rates of obesity and type 2 diabetes are contributing to elevated rates of cardiometabolic conditions. Identifying and intervening in the early stages of metabolic dysfunction is crucial in order to delay and prevent disease progression. The Metabolic Risk Panel is a comprehensive test that helps identify individuals at risk of developing metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease. The panel includes hemoglobin A1C, the Insulin Resistance Panel with Score, a lipid panel, and apolipoprotein B (apoB), which together provide a more detailed picture of cardiometabolic health than traditional tests alone.
Key points:
- Explain the role of insulin resistance in the development of metabolic dysfunction and its connection to early signs of type 2 diabetes.
- Recognize the importance of apoB in evaluating lipid metabolism and its role in cardiovascular risk assessment, especially in patients with insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome.
- Identify how combining traditional and advanced biomarkers in the Metabolic Risk Panel helps clinicians catch metabolic and cardiovascular risks early, enabling more effective prevention and management.
Session #2: Redefining risk: Combining vessel wall pathology and blood-based markers
Speaker: Dr. Derrick DeSilva, MD
Internist and senior attending staff member, Department of Medicine at Raritan Bay Medical Center
Residual risk continues to elevate the impact and importance of silent and invisible cardiovascular conditions. Learn how you can directly address the health of the blood vessel wall to make a difference.
Endothelial dysfunction continues to skyrocket, and most approaches have low engagement and effects. By understanding the role of the inner lining of the endothelium, as well as methods to protect it, straightforward and effective strategies emerge to maintain vascular health.
Key points:
- Describe how endothelial cells maintain vascular integrity through barrier function, regulation of permeability, and production of protective molecules such as nitric oxide.
- Identify risk factors for endothelial dysfunction, ranging from testing opportunities to lifestyle assessment.
- Evaluate rhamnan sulfate from Monostroma nitidum, a green seaweed, as a strategy for preserving endothelial function.
- Apply this knowledge to target specific groups who may most benefit from supporting vascular integrity and the blood vessel wall.
