The educational objectives of this symposium were:
- To summarise the epidemiology and pathophysiology of patients at high cardiovascular risk with diabetes
- To understand the origin of the high residual cardiovascular risk in patients with diabetes & ACS
- To review how BET inhibition affects gene expression via epigenetic mechanisms, as a novel strategy to improve outcomes in CVD
- To update and review current clinical research programmes evaluating the role of epigenetic regulation of gene expression in CVD management.
