Managing Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) Syndrome in Patient Care

Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) syndrome recognizes the interconnected relationship among cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic risk factors that contribute to long-term health outcomes. The first-ever CKM clinical practice guideline introduces a framework for risk assessment, staging, prevention, and management, emphasizing early identification and coordinated care across disease states. You will be better prepared to recognize CKM syndrome, understand its implications for patient care, and support evidence-based strategies to reduce cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic risk.HOSTRachel Maynard, PharmDGameChangers Podcast Host and Lead, Clinical & Partnership Education, CEimpactGUESTChristine Schumacher, PharmD, BCPS, BCACP, BCCP, BC-ADM, CDCES, FCCPProfessor, Pharmacy Practice and Clinical PharmacistMidwestern UniversityGET CE FOR LISTENING!Stay Compliant.
