Cardiovascular Disease Prevention

The Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Learning Pathway at ACC.26 will showcase the expanding landscape of preventive strategies and equip clinicians with the tools to translate these innovations into daily practice. With prevention advancing at a rapid pace, expert faculty will guide attendees through the latest hypertension and lipid guidelines, emerging cardiometabolic therapies, and new evidence at the intersection of cardiovascular, kidney and metabolic health.

This year's program highlights the latest in lipid management, hypertension care, and cardiometabolic therapy, including breakthroughs in lipid-lowering approaches, adherence challenges in hypertension, and practical guidance on GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors. Attendees will also explore lifestyle, environment, and women's health dimensions of prevention, with sessions on food as medicine, the cardiovascular impact of obesity and physical activity, and unique considerations across motherhood and menopause. Finally, the program will challenge conventional thinking through lively debates on emerging strategies and offer reflective insights from experienced voices in preventive cardiology.
