De Helleense Vereniging voor Cardiologie publiceert een nationale consensus over het cardiovasculair-nier-metabool (CKM) syndroom. Het document schetst een gestandaardiseerde definitie, fasering en multidisciplinaire behandelstrategie voor patiënten met de onderlinge verbondenheid van hart- en vaatziekten, diabetes en obesitas. Voor de klinische praktijk biedt het een handreiking om het syndroom vroegtijdig te herkennen en tijdig te interveniëren, wat essentieel is om de hoge morbiditeit en mortaliteit in gevorderde stadia te beperken.

## English: Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome: definition, staging, diagnosis and therapeutic management. An expert consensus statement of the Committee of cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome of the Hellenic Society of Cardiology.

The Hellenic Society of Cardiology has released a national expert consensus outlining a standardized definition, staging system, and multidisciplinary management approach for cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome. The statement highlights the interconnected pathophysiology of atherosclerotic disease, diabetes, and obesity, providing a practical framework for early recognition and coordinated care. Adopting this structured approach in clinical practice is crucial for timely intervention and reducing the substantial morbidity and mortality associated with advanced CKM stages.

## Abstract (original, from the publication)

Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome is a complex clinical entity that encompasses health conditions whose prevalence has markedly increased in recent years, such as atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and obesity, which are closely interconnected through shared pathophysiological mechanisms. The need to recognize CKM syndrome arises from its substantial burden on public health, as it is associated with increased morbidity and mortality, particularly in the advanced stages of the disease. Its multifactorial pathophysiology and heterogeneous clinical presentation necessitate a multidisciplinary and holistic approach, including comprehensive diagnostic evaluation and coordinated therapeutic management. involving multiple medical specialties. This expert consensus document, developed under the auspices of the Hellenic Society of Cardiology, represents the first official, national initiative to highlight CKM syndrome as a clinical entity. Its aim is to raise awareness among cardiologists as well as other involved medical specialties, promoting early recognition, appropriate diagnostic approach, and effective therapeutic management of the syndrome.
