alt Hacker News> The ties are so strong that in 2023 the American Heart Association grouped the conditions under one name: cardio-kidney-metabolic syndrome (CKM), with “metabolic syndrome” referring to diabetes and obesity.
Seems like this is mostly an extension of the previously existing label of metabolic syndrome, now including kidney. Ozempic is mentioned and I take that to mean obesity is the cause. But are some of these ailments like diabetes reversible?
I think it's saying that diabetes (T2 is reliably reversible) causes damage to the heart and kidney but sometimes the connection isn't made and they treat the kidney/heart symptoms without addressing the cause (T2D).
