A training session at the conference
To reduce cardiovascular events, it is necessary to combine 3 main factors. Firstly, early detection of risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, overweight - obesity, sedentary lifestyle...) and minimizing these risk factors. Secondly, patients need to be diagnosed early and treated properly. And especially, when conducting treatment, it is necessary to consider applying minimally invasive methods but bring the highest efficiency such as: endovascular intervention, endoscopic surgery... This is considered a prominent trend in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases today, helping to improve the effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment for patients.
