The Cardiometabolic Risk Management Latino Health Congress is a national academic expert level forum that brings together a team of experts from different fields to provide the latest up-to-date medical research and discuss the most effective current strategies for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and management relative to Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in the Latino population.

The prevalence and growth of Cardiometabolic risk factors in combination with a set of unique cultural barriers in the US Latino community provides a clear warning that the public health problem presented by Cardiometabolic disease in the Latino population is already substantial and will become much more severe in the coming decades. Actions to manage and minimize this problem are urgently needed.

The goal is for the congress to provide healthcare professionals in attendance the scientific basis, clinical tools and treatment strategies to dramatically reduce cardiovascular risk complications in the growing number of Latino patients suffering of insulin resistance, diabetes type 2, obesity, hypertension, dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and chronic kidney disease.

These organic risk factors necessitate increased emphasis and interventions from health care stakeholders targeting this population. Ultimately, improving both the quality and longevity of the Latino diabetic patient living in the USA.
