ACC CardiaCast: Targeting UACR: Therapeutic and Behavioral Approaches
In this final episode of the Increasing Role of UACR in Cardiovascular Care series, Drs. Ankeet Bhatt and Brendan Neuen will break down why UACR screening is one of the most powerful yet underused tools for identifying early cardiovascular risk. Together, they examine the latest evidence on therapies and lifestyle strategies that reduce albuminuria, discuss their impact on kidney and cardiovascular risk, and highlight practical considerations for integrating these approaches into everyday clinical care. This podcast is supported by a grant from Boehringer Ingelheim. Visit the course page to learn more about the role of UACR in Cardiovascular Care.
