CARDIOMETABOLIC HEALTH ALLIANCE

The CardioMetabolic Health Alliance is an interdisciplinary collaboration to improve cardiometabolic risk factor control in diverse and high-risk populations and to provide more effective and coordinated care for patients with established cardiometabolic disease. Risk factors include a cluster of interrelated clinical findings - high blood pressure, elevated fasting blood sugar, elevated A1c (hemoglobin bonded with glucose), dyslipidemia, elevated body mass index (BMI) and elevated triglycerides - that together can progress to diabetes and cardiovascular disease... The Alliance will identify communities where acute events from cardiometabolic risk factors and disease are higher than national average, provide clinical profiles of the typical cardiometabolic patient who has just suffered an acute event in a high-risk community contrasted with a patient in a low risk community. From this information, the Alliance will offer recommendations for interventions to prevent progression, which..
