This activity is intended for primary care physicians and other members of the multidisciplinary, interprofessional healthcare team in the U.S who care for patients with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome.

After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:

• Describe the complex interplay between CKD, HF, and T2D in the context of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome.
• Analyze the epidemiological trends and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the interconnectedness of HF, CKD, and T2D, and their implications for patient prognosis and quality of life.
• Evaluate the current evidence base supporting emerging therapeutic strategies, including sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and aldosterone synthase inhibitors (ASIs), for managing cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome, with a focus on their potential to mitigate morbidity and mortality.
• Formulate evidence-based treatment plans for patients with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome that consider the complex interactions between HF, CKD, and T2D to enhance patient quality of life

In support of improving patient care, Medical Learning Institute Inc is jointly accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME), the Accreditation Council for Pharmacy Education (ACPE), and the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), to provide continuing education for the healthcare team
