ABSTRACT

Cardiometabolic disease mainly refers to the cardiovascular disease caused by the increased metabolic burden, including hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, coronary heart disease, stroke, and so on. In China, the incidence of this kind of disease is continuous rising, and cardiometabolic disease is more and more diagnosed in patients in younger age. Currently, continuous exploration of new biomarkers and detection methods, standardization of testing techniques, strengthening of clinical and laboratory communication and cooperation, and cultivation of interdisciplinary talents are the major focuses in term of promoting the development of laboratory medicine in the field of cardiovascular metabolism.
