The high risk diabetes patient with cardiovascular disease: What else can we target to reduce cardiovascular risk?
At the 'A novel approach for high cv risk patients with diabetes: the potential of epigenetics' symposium, held at the ESC Congress 2016 in Rome, Kausik Ray spoke about therapeutic targets to further lower CV risk.

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.
