Abnormal-glucose tolerance is due to an imbalance between β-cell function and insulin resistance and is a major risk factor in cardiovascular disease. In sub-Saharan Africa, β-cell failure is emerging as an important cause of abnormal glucose tolerance. Join NWU's Dr Annemarie Wentzel for an in-depth, CPD-accredited discussion on this crucial part of the sub-Saharan diabetes/CV picture and its implications.

Abnormal glucose tolerance and cardiovascular risk
- Presented by
Dr Wentzel is a senior lecturer and researcher in Physiology at North-West University. She focuses on exploring the physiological mechanisms activated during acute and chronic cardiometabolic, hydrodynamic and psychological stress responses within healthy and at-risk populations. Ultimately, she wants to investigate how these mechanisms may differ in, and translate to specific health outcomes (specifically diabetes, stroke and coronary artery disease). She is a member of the American Heart Association (AHA), American Autonomic Society (AAS), South African Heart Association (SAHA) and Physiological Society of South Africa (PSSA).
