CaReMe (Cardiovascular, Renal and Metabolism)
When we talk CVRM and CaReMe, we’re talking about health interconnectivity. We’re saying that if we stop focusing on each of these conditions individually and instead begin to understand that treating cardiovascular, renal and metabolic diseases (CVRM) as interlinked, we can save lives.
