A More Complete View of Cardiovascular Risk in Women
Guest: Noel Bairey Merz, MD Cardiovascular risk in women can emerge well before older age, but traditional approaches to risk assessment may overlook sex-specific factors in patients under 65. Dr. Noel Bairey Merz joins us to share how tools such as the PREVENT score and coronary artery calcium scoring, along with obstetric history and female-dominant conditions, can help us identify elevated risk earlier. Dr. Bairey Merz is the Director of the Barbra Streisand Women’s Health Center, the Linda Joy Pollin Women’s Heart Health Program, and the Preventive and Rehabilitative Cardiac Center at the Cedars-Sinai Smidt Heart Institute in Beverly Hills, California. She also spoke about this topic at the 2026 European Society of Cardiology Congress.

Survodutide in Obesity: Insights from SYNCHRONIZE-1
Guest: Carel le Roux, MBChB, MSC, FRCP, FRCPath, PhD New findings from the SYNCHRONIZE-1 trial reveal that survodutide's impact extends beyond weight reduction, with a demonstrated decrease in liver fat and meaningful improvements across multiple markers of metabolic health in patients without type 2 diabetes. Dr. Carel le Roux joins us to share the efficacy and safety data and explore what these results could mean for the future of metabolic disease management. Dr. Le Roux is the Director of the Metabolic Medicine Group and a Professor of Chemical Pathology in the School of Medicine at University College Dublin, and he presented these findings at the 2026 American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions.

Understanding Residual Cardiovascular Risk in CKD and T2D
Guest: John W. Ostrominski, MD, MPH Despite advances in glycemic management, blood pressure control, lipid lowering, and disease-modifying therapies, patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes continue to face substantial residual cardiovascular risk. In this program, Dr. John Ostrominski reviews emerging evidence linking low-grade systemic inflammation to adverse cardiovascular outcomes in this high-risk population, highlighting findings from the FIDELITY pooled analysis of FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD. Dr. Ostrominski is a fellow specializing in cardiovascular disease and obesity medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. He spoke about this topic at the 2026 American Diabetes Association Scientific Sessions.

Addressing Cost-Related Medication Non-Adherence in Diabetes
Guest: Kimberly Narain, MD, MPH, PhD Cost-related medication nonadherence remains a significant but often hidden barrier to effective diabetes care, with out-of-pocket costs preventing patients from accessing essential therapies. Dr. Kimberly Narain joins us to explain why clinicians should look beyond insurance status alone and consider affordability challenges when developing strategies to improve diabetes outcomes. Dr. Narain is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, as well as the Director of Health Services and Health Optimization Research at the Iris Cantor UCLA Women's Health Center.
