Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a progressive condition in which the heart muscle is unable to pump enough blood to meet the needs of the body. CHF can result from functional abnormalities such as ventricular dysfunction or arrhythmias, or structural disorders of the myocardium or valves.
Stroke is the second most common cause of death and a major cause of disability worldwide. A stroke occurs when there is a blockage or bleed in the cerebrovascular system that leads to either a neurological deficit persisting beyond 24 hours or death.
Pulmonary arterial hypertension is one of a group of rare and life-threatening diseases collectively known as pulmonary hypertension (PH). Each PH subgroup shares similar pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and therapeutic approaches.
Anemia in chronic kidney disease (CKD), defined as a reduction in red blood cells (RBCs) or hemoglobin levels, often results from decreased levels of erythropoietin and increased levels of hepcidin. Erythropoietin is primarily produced in the kidneys and increases the production of RBCs by acting on precursor cells. H
Diabetes mellitus is a group of chronic endocrine disorders characterized by hyperglycemia due to insufficient levels or action of insulin, a hormone responsible for regulating blood sugar. Symptoms include excessive excretion of urine (polyuria), thirst (polydipsia), constant hunger, weight loss, vision changes, and fatigue. In the long term, the disease can also cause disabling and lifethreatening complications such as cardiovascular disease (CVD), nerve damage (neuropathy, which along with peripheral vascular disease can lead to amputations), kidney damage (nephropathy), and eye disease (leading to retinopathy, loss of vision, and potentially blindness). If untreated, life-threatening conditions can develop, including diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), particularly in type 1 diabetes, and the hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state in type 2 diabetes
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders which are characterized by hyperglycemia (elevated blood glucose levels) due to insufficient insulin secretion, which in type 2 diabetes occurs in the setting of insulin insensitivity.
Diabetic nephropathy, also known as diabetic kidney disease, is caused by damage to small blood vessels which can cause the kidneys to be less efficient in their blood filtration role or to fail altogether.
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) encompasses a spectrum of patients who have fatty liver in the absence of significant alcohol consumption. NAFLD patients are often segmented into non-alcoholic fatty liver (NAFL) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) patients. NAFLD diagnosis requires evidence of hepatic steatosis and lack of secondary causes of liver fat accumulation such as substantial alcohol consumption, long-term use of a steatogenic medicine, or monogenic hereditary disorders. NASH is defined as the presence of >5% hepatic steatosis and inflammation with hepatocyte injury, with or without fibrosis. Although the presence of fibrosis is not required for a diagnosis of NASH, fibrosis is present in over 80% of NASH patients. For this reason, NASH patients are often further segmented by their fibrosis stage.
Osteoporosis is the most common metabolic bone disease, and is characterized by compromised bone strength which predisposes individuals to an increased risk of fracture. Bone strength itself is not directly measurable, but can be inferred from bone mass and quality, with bone mass being most commonly approximated by assessing bone mineral density (BMD). A person with a BMD measurement that falls within one standard deviation (SD) of the healthy reference (30-year-old male or female) is considered to have healthy bone mass and structure (T-score >-1).
Hemophilia is a rare, inherited X chromosome-linked bleeding disorder in which deficiencies in clotting factors prevent blood from clotting normally. Injuries therefore result in prolonged periods of bleeding. There are two types of hemophilia, A and B, with similar signs and symptoms but different genetic defects.

According to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), approximately 425 million adults (20-79 years of age) have diabetes worldwide, and this number is expected to rise nearly 50% to approximately 629 million by 2045. More than 1.25 million people have type 1 diabetes in the US alone.
