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.

  • 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
  • How to implement a CKM coordinator model to connect care across specialties
