Summary
Inflammation plays a pivotal role in both cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease, making it a crucial target for reducing patient risk. In this focused 15-minute podcast, our experts break down the latest insights into how inflammation drives these conditions and explore innovative approaches to managing it.

Listen to Dr. Ridker as he will delve into the critical role of inflammation in cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease, with a focus on the predictive value of hsCRP as a biomarker for ASCVD and CKD risk. Dr. Ridker explores emerging strategies to address inflammation, and how these advancements could potentially reduce cardiovascular risk and improve patient outcomes.
