Cardiometabolic Center Alliance’s Post

A third of U.S. adults are at high risk for CKM syndrome, but many patients receive fragmented care. Today we are proud to launch an initiative to change that with American College of Physicians, American Diabetes Association, American Society of Nephrology, National Kidney Foundation, STOP Obesity Alliance at The George Washington University- Milken Institute School of Public Health and Cardiometabolic Center Alliance. Over the next four years, the Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Health Initiative will work to implement a person-centered approach to awareness, professional and patient education, and treatment of #CKMSyndrome. #cardiology #nephrology

I'm proud to share and support this new American Heart Association Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Health Initiative to assess gaps in clinical care for cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome patients, identify areas for future research and put science into practice to better treat this complex health threat! CKM syndrome was first defined by the American Heart Association in an October 2023 presidential advisory and scientific statement, both published in its flagship peer-reviewed scientific journal Circulation. About 1 in 3 U.S. adults have at least three risk factors for #ckmsyndrome, a health disorder related to the strong connections among cardiovascular disease, kidney disease and metabolic disease (such as Type 2 diabetes and obesity). As the underlying conditions of CKM syndrome worsen, the risk of heart attack, stroke, heart failure and kidney and liver diseases increase. This important initiative was made possible through the visionary leadership collective of people truly passionate about patients. Thank you to our founding sponsors Novo Nordisk and Boehringer Ingelheim and our many collaborators including American College of Physicians, American Diabetes Association, American Society of Nephrology, National Kidney Foundation, STOP Obesity Alliance at The George Washington University- Milken Institute School of Public Health and Cardiometabolic Center Alliance. The effort will engage 150 hospitals and sites across the nation, reaching more than 265,000 patients.

👩🔬 Have you read the 𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐲 with German #SCI patients in 'Spinal Cord Series and Cases' journal? 🔎 Neurogenic Bowel Disorder #NBD, the loss of normal bowel function due to a nerve problem, is a chronic condition that affetcs up to 80% of people with Spinal Cord Injury #SCI, Multiple Sclerosis #MS or Parkinson´s Disease #PD. It has a huge impact on quality of life as it causes #constipation and bowel accidents. While #NBD currently cannot be cured, it can be managed with the right solutions, such as Intermittent Colonic Exoperistalsis treatment with the #MOWOOT device. #neurorehabilitation #gastroenterology #medicaldevice https://lnkd.in/dd4c9M4f

https://lnkd.in/g_29CnyF Article title: Pain is a Prevalent Symptom of Adolescents at Diagnosis with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome   Author(s): Elizabeth Bettini*; Robin R Fabian; Jeffery P Moak   Journal: Open Journal of Pain Medicine   Journal ISSN: 2640-8104 Abstract: Pain is often endorsed by patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). A retrospective chart analysis of adolescents diagnosed with PTS from January 2014-December 2015 at the pediatric cardiology clinic at Children’s National Health System were reviewed. 93% of the subjects reported pain at the time of diagnosis, with 46% of the sample reporting more than one site of pain. Since chronic pain syndromes and POTS are associated by similar symptom burden and often develop after illness or injury, both may be a product of pathology stemming from neuroinflammation and neuralplasticity that results in central sensitization and autonomic nervous system dysfunction. #PhysiologyOfPain #MechanismsOfPain #AcutePain #ChronicPain #TherapeuticOptions #PainControl #InterventionalProcedures #NonPharmacologicApproaches #PostoperativePain #OncologyPain #PainSyndromes #PalliativeCare #PediatricHealth #AgingHealth #Peertechz #PeertechzPublications #OpenAccess #ScientificJournals #PeerReviewedJournals #OpenAccessPublishers #Pharmacology #Addiction #Abuse #PainMedication #AdverseEvents #DrugSafety #PharmacoeconomicsResearch #QualityOfLife

On #WorldKidneyDay, let's remember that managing chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires a comprehensive approach. Providing CME/CE education to nephrologists and other HCPs can make a significant difference in the fight against CKD. Through this education, we can emphasize the latest treatment advances, guideline updates, evidence-based medicine, and real-world data. Let's champion these tools and holistic approaches for the benefit of our patients and prevent end-stage renal disease (ESRD). #CKD #CME #CE #nephrology #GlobalKidneyAcademy https://lnkd.in/dEMXykjY

Check out our latest research published in Epilepsia, exploring the intricate relationship between epilepsy and frailty! Our study introduces a proposal to assessing frailty specifically tailored for epilepsy patients. Frailty in epilepsy goes beyond mere aging, influenced by factors like familial history, cognitive challenges, and medication regimens. Our research introduces a promising measurement tool with potential applications in predicting medication tolerance, aiding clinical research, assessing mortality risk, and informing surgical decisions. 🧠🩺 Read the full article in Epilepsia at https://lnkd.in/dcqEyT25 #Epilepsy #Frailty

🤔💭 “Thinking back at the years before your MS symptoms began, can you, in hindsight, tell me anything that might have predated them?” When Helen Tremlett, Professor of Neurology at The University of British Columbia posed this question during an MS Society meeting, the room fell silent. Then, one by one, people began to share their stories. 🏥 💊 MS might begin years before the clinical onset. In the five years before MS symptoms become apparent, many people start visiting doctors more often and rely on prescription medications more frequently. This suggests the existence of an MS prodrome. 👨🏼⚕️ Prof. Giancarlo Comi from Ospedale San Raffaele in Italy adds: “MS prodrome represents a subtle way in which the disease emerges, often with non-specific symptoms that go unrecognised.” Understanding MS prodrome could be key to improving early diagnosis and treatment, or even to stop the condition. 💫 Read more about non-specific symptoms of MS prodrome in our latest Insights: https://bit.ly/3WRKfh5 #MS #Prodrome #Diagnostics #MSResearch

Across ages and genders, and even in the absence of major risk factors, the risk of stroke is never zero, and with timelier access to neurologists through telemedicine, Access TeleCare works with local care teams to help improve stroke outcomes.
