The Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Syndrome Guideline will reshape CKM syndrome prevention and care.

[AHA Science @AHAScience]

Progression along the spectrum of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome stages is accompanied by increasing absolute risk of cardiovascular disease. This framework highlights the cumulative and progressive nature of CKM-related risk.

Published today, the first-ever clinical practice guideline on cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome from the American Heart Association and @ACCinTouch.

The focus of this clinical practice guideline is to create a living, working document that provides current knowledge in the field of CKM syndrome aimed at all practicing cardiologists, endocrinologists, nephrologists, and primary care and specialty clinicians who manage these patients.
