People with chronic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes, or both of these conditions may have a higher cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk 8 to 28 years earlier than those without these conditions, a new study finds.

People with both type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease face a heart health double-whammy, a new study says.

Men with both diabetes and kidney disease will develop heart health problems 28 years earlier than those without either condition, researchers reported today at an American Heart Association meeting in Chicago.

New research indicates that people with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome may have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease up to 28 years earlier than people without the disease.
