Cardiometabolic & Venous diseases Forum 2025
Servier is proud to take part in the 3rd edition of the Cardiometabolic & Venous Diseases (CMVD) Forum, under the scientific direction of Professor Giuseppe Rosano. Held in Milan on May 22–23, 2025, this international scientific meeting brings together leading experts to explore new perspectives on the integrated management of cardiometabolic and venous diseases.
The Rationale Behind the CMVD Forum
Now in its third edition, the CMVD Forum was established to address a growing need within clinical practice: the management of patients with multiple, interconnected chronic diseases. Cardiometabolic and venous conditions frequently coexist and share overlapping risk factors and pathophysiological mechanisms. However, these links are often under-recognized in traditional care models. The forum promotes multidisciplinary dialogue and encourages the development of holistic, patient-centered strategies that can bridge knowledge gaps, improve treatment adherence, and ultimately enhance patient outcomes across specialties and regions.
