As the panel discussion concludes, expert panelists share their final insights about the current US healthcare system and its initiatives to combat cardiovascular disease and cardiometabolic events.

Michael Weber, MD, concludes the discussion by defining preventive medicine and explains its importance when managing cardiometabolic conditions.
