VIDEO: Newly defined syndrome is a ‘brilliant concept’ on stages of CVD risk

BOSTON — Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome, or CKM, is a new term endorsed by the American Heart Association that reflects the interplay of metabolic and renal conditions that drive the risk for CVD.

In this video, Clyde W. Yancy, MD, MSc, MACP, MACC, FAHA, FHFSA, a professor and chief of cardiology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, discusses “this brilliant concept” that he said underscores the role of adiposity in hepatic, renal and cardiovascular changes.

This is part of a six-video Healio Video Exclusive in which Yancy recaps his talk at the ACP Internal Medicine Meeting on important updates in cardiology.
