Join us for a discussion on the vital intersections of hypertension and obesity, two prevalent health challenges that frequently coexist and complicate patient care. Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and the leading cause of mortality among patients diagnosed with both hypertension and obesity. With over 70% of individuals with hypertension being identified as having overweight or obesity, understanding the interplay between these conditions is more crucial than ever. Dr. Harold Bays, the Chief Science Officer at Obesity Medicine Association will share key insights into the intersection of hypertension and obesity, standards of care, and what providers and care teams can do to address this issue
