ACCEL Lite: Cardiovascular Health, CKM Syndrome and CVD Risk: Putting It All Together
Three complementary constructs—cardiovascular health, cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment—exist to aid physicians in understanding where a patient is in the journey from health to disease and assist with clinical decision-making for preventive interventions across the life course.
In this interview, Drs. Clyde Yancy and Donald Lloyd-Jones review the origins, objectives, and application of these cardiovascular constructs in practice.
