This comprehensive support and education program activates patients to learn more about heart failure and its relationship to other cardiovascular kidney metabolic (CKM) diseases. The educational tools help people understand Metabolic Syndrome and how it connects to other health problems like heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. It offers easy-to-understand videos and information to help you learn about your condition. The program also connects you with others who share similar experiences and provides tools and support to help you live well and take control of your health.

Metabolic Syndrome is a cluster of health conditions that happen at the same time, increasing your risk of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. It’s not a single disease but a combination of several risk factors, including:

• High blood pressure
• High blood sugar (glucose)
• Excess fat around the waist (abdominal obesity)
• High triglyceride levels
• Low HDL (“good”) cholesterol levels

You are diagnosed with metabolic syndrome if you have three or more of these conditions.

This program is supported by an educational grant from Boehringer Ingelheim.
