Nearly 90% of U.S. adults are at risk for or have Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) syndrome, a newly defined American Heart Association condition linking heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and kidney dysfunction. This often-silent, "chain reaction" condition significantly increases risks for heart attack, stroke, and heart failure. It is largely reversible through lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, weight loss) and, if necessary, medication.
