About This Webinar

Women sometimes face disparities in the context of cardiovascular and metabolic conditions. The CKM Triad—Cardiovascular Health, Metabolic Health, and overall wellness—highlights the interconnectedness of these areas and the unique challenges women face. Addressing these issues is critical for improving health outcomes and enhancing quality of life.

This webinar will explore CKM syndrome and its implications for women’s health. We will open with an introduction that explains the background of CKM syndrome and what it is, leading into a discussion of current trends, risks, and innovative strategies to empower women through education and actionable insights. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how cardiovascular and metabolic health intersect and how to advocate for their well-being.

Attendees Will Learn About

  • Risk factors and symptoms of heart disease in women
  • Early detection and prevention
  • How kidney health impacts cardiovascular and metabolic systems
  • Common kidney issues for women
  • The role of metabolic health in preventing heart disease and kidney issues, lifestyle choices, and integrative strategies for CKM syndrome health including the role of digital health solutions for tracking and managing symptoms
