CKM Health for Professionals
Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome is a health disorder made up of heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes and obesity, leading to poor health outcomes.
Groundbreaking new therapies exist, but many patients experience fragmented care. By recognizing CKM as a connected syndrome, we can shift from reactive care to earlier detection, coordinated treatment, and better outcomes
