Whitepaper: New Guide Tackles Connected Chronic Conditions Across Care Teams

About 1 in 3 U.S. adults have at least three risk factors for cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome – a condition rooted in the overlap of heart disease, kidney disease and metabolic disorders like Type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Yet care delivery remains fragmented, with primary and specialty teams often working in silos.

The American Heart Association’s CKM Health Implementation Guide offers a practical framework to help clinicians detect risk earlier, align workflows and deliver more person-centered care. No matter your specialty, this guide shows how to operationalize the science and design care around whole-patient needs.

Download to Learn:

  • How to stage and manage overlapping heart, kidney and metabolic conditions from prevention to progression,
  • What to add – and remove – from workflows: waist circumference, kidney screening, social risk, and
  • How to implement a CKM coordinator model to connect care across specialties.
