Cardiovascular Risk Assessment and Management guides clinicians in identifying individuals at elevated risk for heart disease and implementing strategies that meaningfully reduce morbidity and mortality. This session explores how to measure, stratify, and manage risk at the individual and population levels. As professionals increasingly search for a comprehensive cardiology conference, this session provides a structured approach to integrating modern tools with patient-centered care.

Participants will learn to use traditional risk calculators, emerging biomarkers, coronary artery calcium scoring, polygenic risk scores, and lifestyle-based risk evaluation. The session examines how to interpret global risk estimates and match them with treatment thresholds for statins, antihypertensives, antiplatelets, glucose-lowering therapies, and lifestyle interventions. Real-case examples illustrate how risk evolves over a lifetime.

A major emphasis is developing personalized cardiovascular risk management plans. This includes balancing pharmacologic and lifestyle therapies, tailoring plans for women, young adults, older adults, and high-risk ethnic groups, and addressing social determinants of health. The session highlights digital monitoring tools, structured follow-up, adherence strategies, and motivational interviewing as essential components of prevention.

The session concludes with discussions around population health strategies, health system design, and the integration of risk management into routine clinical workflows. By the end, participants will be prepared to implement comprehensive risk pathways across diverse settings.
