Table 2 Current unmet needs and potential future directions to improve CMR management

From: The cardio-renal-metabolic connection: a review of the evidence

Unmet needs

Future directions

Novel medications with CMR benefits

• Identification of druggable CMR connectors

• Further efficacy and safety data of novel therapies

Combination therapy strategy

• Better understanding of drug mechanisms of action

• Outcomes trials testing combination therapies

Integrated management of CMR disease

• Multidisciplinary approach

Risk-stratified personalized care

• Risk score validation for individualized prognostication

• Clinical trials in specific populations (women/young/primary prevention)

Drug prioritization

• Head-to-head drug comparative trials
