Dear Editor Chronic diseases have occupied a leading place in global morbidity and mortality statistics, given the increase in life expectancy and access to new therapeutic technologies and advanced drugs. Cardio-metabolic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, and obesity, among others, are clear examples of both the impact and the advent of new therapeutic opportunities.
