The cardiometabolic syndrome is a concept recently developed by the American Heart Association to denote the totality of risk in a patient with risk factors that may lead to or worsen chronic kidney disease or cardiovascular events. A new validated scoring system has been endorsed by AHA to better assess the short and long-term risk for these in the general population. We will discuss this scoring system in this podcast.
