Overview

Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome impacts millions of people each year, including younger adults. The PREVENT risk equations were developed as a tool to more accurately predict cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in patients. Utilization of the PREVENT equations in primary care settings, along with novel therapy options, offers a unique opportunity to transform the landscape for primary prevention of CVD.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe the interplay between cardiovascular, kidney, and metabolic health and cardiovascular disease outcomes
  • Discuss the history of risk prediction models and how the novel PREVENT equations are more accurate and precise for predicting CVD risk than the previous models
  • Discuss how to utilize the PREVENT risk equations in primary care settings to guide risk-based decision-making to reduce CVD risk
  • Review novel CKM therapies that are available and the impact these therapies may have on CVD risk and outcomes
