Program Description
The World Congress on Insulin Resistance, Diabetes & Cardiovascular Disease (WCIRDC), now in its 12th year, is a unique and exciting multidisciplinary program, to be held this
year in Universal City, California. The Congress is the premiere global meeting dedicated to diabetes, obesity, metabolism, and energy balance, linking research to clinical
practice, and highlighting our theme — Exploring New Frontiers in Metabolism — Tomorrow's Clinical Science Today.
Since its inception, the Congress has become a home to clinical & basic scientists, researchers, and practicing clinicians. The distinguished global faculty, employing the Congress’
unique bench-to-bedside approach, has created a state-of-the-art program, promoting a new understanding of metabolic diseases; facilitating the development of future
therapeutic modalities; and implementing the management of obesity and diabetes beyond lifestyle, with contemporary medications and surgeries.
Since Dr. Gerald Reaven’s pioneering work crystallized the relationship between insulin resistance (IR), diabetes, and cardiovascular disease (CVD), the Congress’ focus has been
augmented by the role of obesity, fat cell, and inflammation, in furthering cardiometabolic conditions. The WCIRDC is a distinguished platform where the interaction of multiple
metabolic systems, like circadian rhythm, sleep disturbances, the neuroendocrine system, the gut, related hormones, and their relationship to the brain, are evaluated in both
the scientific and clinical environments. Ultimately the Congress is set on developing an innovative and comprehensive plan for managing CV risk factors and diseases.
Diabetes and obesity carry major risks for cardiovascular complications and for cancer. The epidemic of obesity propels the epidemic of diabetes. The obesity epidemic also
defines the components of the pathophysiology causing these complications — insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, lipid abnormalities, hypertension,
hyperglycemia, and hypercoagulation.
A comprehensive approach to understanding and managing these risk factors is mandatory in the prevention and treatment of complications of diabetes. Beyond lifestyle
modification, a focus on pharmacological agents is key to addressing the epidemic. Of particular interest is our contemporary understanding of the pathophysiology of diabetes,
incorporating the role of the kidney in glucose homeostasis and the role of the incretin system. This year, on top of the general scientific spectrum of the Congress, namely
addressing obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and their management, there will be a particular focus on congestive heart failure, peripheral vascular disease (PVD),
thrombosis, and the role of the kidney in energy balance and metabolism. Addressing new therapeutic modalities to allow clinical management of these conditions is a key
feature of the Congress.
For the primary care clinician, the Congress will also feature a series of workshops and “Meet The Expert” panels on the clinical management of diabetes, obesity, lipids, and
hypertension. To make basic and clinical research topics like brain metabolism, vascular biology, fat cells, inflammation, immunology, and the endothelium relevant to clinical
medicine, there will be clinical implications commentaries and panel discussions by recognized clinical experts following these sessions. The structure of the Congress promotes
personal and intimate contact between participants and the faculty.
The Congress attracts state-of-the-art abstracts from around the globe. These abstracts will be published in Endocrine Practice, the official journal of the American Association of
Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE). Typically, articles about the meeting are published in several medical journals, such as Endocrine Practice, The Journal of Diabetes, and Diabetes
Care.
Program Objectives
The program is designed to evaluate both clinical and basic science aspects of diabetes, obesity, and CVD, focusing on insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, fat cell, incretins,
the gut, the brain, the kidney and energy metabolism. The goal is to understand pathophysiology, and to develop appropriate comprehensive clinical management plans.
Upon completion of this meeting, participants should be able to:
• State the role of obesity in the development of cardiometabolic diseases, and its management based on a complications-centric model.
• Explain the roles of diabetes and insulin resistance in the development of kidney disease, retinopathy, and CVD.
• State how CHF as a consequence of diabetes, insulin resistance, and obesity, and understand contemporary management.
• Evaluate the extent of PVD and PAD in diabetes and obesity, and know their prevention and management modalities.
• Explain the role of the kidney in energy metabolism, in diabetes, and in the development of CVD.
• Discuss the role of the brain in energy balance and obesity.
• Explain hypercoagulation and thrombosis as consequences of insulin resistance, inflammation, and diabetes; and be aware of therapeutic agents.
• Discuss roles of inflammation and immunity in the effect of fat cells on the development of cardiometabolic conditions.
• Describe how to manage insulin resistance in diabetes with lifestyle, oral medications, and insulin.
• Explain the role of lipids, in particular low-density lipoproteins (LDL), in the development of atherosclerosis; and the role of medical societies’ guidelines in directing management.
• Discuss the role of incretins, in particular glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), in the management of obesity & diabetes and their complications.
• Describe the use sodium-glucose linked transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT-2i) in the management of diabetes, and recognize their role in metabolism.
• Explain obesity's relation to food addiction, the role of taste receptors, hormonal response, and dopaminergic receptors.
• Provide comprehensive management of diabetes, addressing obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia.
• Describe polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) as a cardiometabolic condition.
• State the pathophysiology and complications of fatty liver disease.
• Evaluate the benefits and safety of anti-diabetic and obesity medications.
Target Audience
This educational initiative is designed for cardiologists, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, oncologists, family physicians, internists, diabetologists,
OBGYNs, pediatricians, dieticians, nurse practitioners, pharmacists, and any other health care professional who is interested in insulin resistance, diabetes, obesity, and
cardiovascular disease, and multiple metabolic mechanisms' effect on health and society, as well as on potential treatment and prevention.
