Cardio-Renal-Metabolic Disease States in Augmented Reality - Video

This video resource explores cardiovascular and renal disease states through the use of augmented reality.

What you'll learn:

• The relationship between the CRM systems and how their proper functioning depends on one another
• The risk factors that initiate the cardiovascular and renal risk continuums, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, obesity, and dyslipidemia
• The cardiovascular risk continuum, showing the progression of subclinical damage into manifestations of cardiovascular disease
• The renal risk continuum, showing how the damage caused by risk factors progresses to kidney disease
• The shared risk factors of the CRM systems and how they initiate a cascade of events throughout the body that can impact the other CRM systems
• Details of vascular responses using visuals, including vasoconstriction, thrombosis, inflammation, plaque rupture, and vascular lesion and remodeling
• The pathophysiological effects seen from the interconnectedness of the CRM systems, such as the effect of cardiac dysfunction on the kidneys and the impact of insulin resistance of hypertension
• The relationship between various risk factors and elements of the CRM systems, including:
  • Results from the INTERHEART study on the risk of myocardial infarction (MI) associated with exposure to multiple risk factors
  • The increased rates of mortality associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD)
  • How the risk of CV death increases as renal function declines
