Acclaimed Cardiology Expert Dr. Peter Libby To Keynote 19th Annual CMHC, Revolutionize Atherosclerosis Care

Pioneering researcher to reveal cutting-edge strategies for preventing and treating the leading cause of heart disease and stroke at the cardiometabolic health event of the year.


Boca Raton, FL, May 22, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Cardiometabolic Health Congress (CMHC) is proud to announce that one of the foremost authorities in atherosclerosis, Peter Libby, MD, will deliver the keynote address at its upcoming 19th annual conference, DECODING THE CONSTELLATION of Cardiometabolic Health and Risk Factors Oct. 17-19, 2024, at The Boston Park Plaza, MA.   

Dr. Peter Libby is a cardiovascular medicine specialist at Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) and the Mallinckrodt Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. A world-renowned author and lecturer on cardiovascular medicine and atherosclerosis, Dr. Libby has been published extensively in leading medical journals.

Dr. Libby has been awarded the 2024 Valentin Fuster Award for Innovation in Science for his leadership and innovative work in this field. 

Insights from a Leading Expert in Atherosclerosis

Dr. Peter Libby's keynote, "Prevention and Treatment of Atherosclerosis," at the 19th Annual CMHC conference will provide an update on his research on inflammation and atherosclerosis. He will also present practical approaches for targeting and treating inflammation in everyday clinical practice. 

"It is gratifying to have the work we started on inflammation and immunity in atherosclerosis so many years ago being recognized and becoming actionable for our patients," says Dr. Libby. 

Dr. Libby acknowledges significant strides in treating individual cardiometabolic conditions. However, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, kidney disease, and liver disease remain among the most pervasive chronic conditions in the US. 

His keynote address will set the tone for the conference, where attendees will explore how diseases across the cardiometabolic spectrum share common roots and affect related organs, increasing overall systemic stress. It will specifically underscore that a single cardiometabolic condition raises the risk of others and the likelihood of poor health outcomes.
