Both factors independently increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, but also interact at common biological levels: from cellular senescence and mitochondrial dysfunction to structural cardiac and vascular remodeling. The state-of-the-art review by Ruperez et al. in the European Heart Journal sheds light on how obesity accelerates biological cardiovascular ageing, which mechanistic intersections can be found and which metabolic therapy strategies – from calorie restriction to GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT2 inhibitors – can modulate these processes….

However, given the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in primary care, it is hardly possible to refer everyone affected to a nephrologist. Clear risk stratification is therefore essential. Drug therapy is based on several pillars and aims to slow down the rate of progression of GFR decline on the one hand and to reduce the cardiovascular risk on the other….
