  • CME/CE Podcast: Unmasking Residual Inflammatory Risk in Cardiorenal Disease
    Aug 19 2026
    For more information regarding this CME/CE activity and to complete the CME/CE requirements and claim credit for this activity, visit:https://www.mycme.com/courses/unmasking-residual-inflammatory-risk-in-cardiorenal-disease-10898Program DescriptionCardiorenal-inflammatory syndrome is driven by silent, underlying inflammation in which cellular irritants trigger the intracellular NLRP3 inflammasome. This activation releases a signaling cascade along the IL-1β–IL-6 axis, driving endothelial dysfunction, plaque instability, and nephron fibrosis. Among patients with overlapping atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease, persistent systemic inflammation acts as an independent, primary driver of major adverse cardiovascular events and functional renal decline, necessitating a shift from a purely metabolic management model to an immunologic paradigm.This CME/CE podcast provides clinicians with a practical framework to identify and manage residual inflammatory risk in daily clinical practice. The activity details protocols for expanding routine risk assessments beyond standard lipid panels, defining high-priority patient populations for mandatory hsCRP screening, and applying dual heart-kidney protective strategies. Participants will gain actionable pearls to recognize inflammatory risk earlier, optimize screening workflows, and improve long-term outcomes for complex cardiorenal patients.Educational ObjectiveAt the conclusion of this activity, participants should be better able to:Differentiate the pathophysiologic roles of IL-6, IL-1β, and the NLRP3 inflammasome in the bidirectional inflammatory cycle of ASCVD and CKDApply evidence-based screening protocols using hsCRP to identify patients with residual inflammatory riskAccredited ProvidersThe Association of Black Cardiologists, Inc. and the National Association for Continuing Education in partnership with the Academy of Physician Associates in CardiologyThe Association of Black Cardiologists, Inc.
