Episode 9 - Current Challenges and Gaps in Patient Care
In this segment, Michael Weber, MD, discusses the factors that challenge physicians to provide optimal care to cardiometabolic patients and those at risk for developing a cardiometabolic condition.
Dr Weber continues by explaining how difficult it can often be to treat his patients the way he would like to.
