Rising Awareness of Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Syndrome Among U.S. Adults
A significant portion of U.S. adults, approximately 90 percent, are affected by Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) syndrome, yet most remain unaware of its existence. Recent discussions highlight the silent metabolic crisis underscored by the emergence of new disease definitions. New guidelines have been released that enhance the role of pharmacists in comprehensive medication management, emphasizing the interconnectedness of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disease. A comprehensive review delves into the pathophysiology, epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of this syndrome, while nephrologists provide insights on preventive care. As interest grows, it is crucial for the public to understand CKM syndrome, its symptoms, risk factors, and the implications of the latest guidelines from the American Heart Association.
