**Understanding the Link Between Heart Health and Metabolic Disorders**

Your heart health is closely tied to your metabolic well-being. Conditions like diabetes and kidney disease can significantly increase your risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

According to recent statistics, millions of U.S. adults may be unaware that they have undiagnosed cardiovascular risk factors that begin outside the heart.

The Connection Between Heart Disease and Other Health Conditions

Research suggests that as many as 90% of Americans may have a cluster of chronic health conditions known as cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome, which can lead to cardiovascular disease.

  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • High blood sugar
  • Excess weight
  • Reduced kidney function

The comorbidity of diabetes, kidney disease, and heart disease means that having one of these conditions raises the risk of developing another due to shared risk factors.

What You Can Do to Protect Your Heart Health

By understanding the connection between your heart health and other metabolic disorders, you can take steps to prevent complications through lifestyle changes and appropriate treatment.

  • Get screened for diabetes and kidney disease
  • Manage high blood pressure and cholesterol levels
  • Achieve a healthy weight
  • Exercise regularly
  • Eat a balanced diet

Early detection and treatment of CKM syndrome can help prevent disability and death from cardiovascular disease.
