Overview

The interplay between cardiovascular disease, kidney disease and metabolic dysfunction is complex with interactions across multiple pathways. The goal of this presentation is to review updates in the mechanisms leading to the development of cardiorenal and cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndromes. Within this framework, we will then discuss the updates in risk assessment and management to optimize cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic health.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand mechanism of cardiorenal and cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome
  • Review updates on risk assessment for future cardiovascular events that incorporate cardiovascular, renal and metabolic risk factors
  • Discuss approaches to optimizing cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic health including pharmacotherapy and lifestyle modification
