The 2026 AHA/ACC/ADA/ASN Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) Syndrome Guideline-at-a-Glance highlights CKM syndrome staging, PREVENT cardiovascular (CV) risk assessment, obesity and metabolic management strategies, kidney-protective therapies, and interdisciplinary approaches for reducing long-term CV and kidney risk.

The AHA/ACC/ADA/ASN have developed the first-ever guideline aimed at preventing and managing cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome, an interconnected set of health conditions that significantly increase the risk of multiorgan complications and negative cardiovascular outcomes. Nearly 90% of U.S. adults have at least one CKM syndrome risk factor, including excess weight, high blood pressure, abnormal lipids, high blood glucose (sugar) or reduced kidney function.

Cardiac biomarker complete response in AL amyloidosis is associated with survival comparable to that of the general population. Importantly, structural cardiac abnormalities may persist despite deep biochemical recovery, highlighting that biomarker normalization alone is not the full picture. Early diagnosis and timely therapy remain essential🫀

Increasing Lp(a) exposure had direct, independent causal effects on coronary artery disease and HbA1c only; very low Lp(a) exposure is suggested to not be causally associated with type 2 diabetes. The optimal European and African ancestry threshold to stratify cardiovascular risk is comparable, and below 125/105 nmol/L in current U.S./European medical professional society guidelines.
