Assessment and management of cardiovascular disease in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the set of chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, whether on renal replacement therapy or conservative treatment. A better understanding of cardiovascular risk factors, diagnostic approach and management are central keys to develop strategies to reduce cardiovascular mortality among those patients. This review article discusses some aspect...
متن کاملDiagnosis of cardiovascular disease in patients with chronic kidney disease.
The major forms of cardiovascular disease including coronary atherosclerosis, valvular disease, myocardial dysfunction, and arrhythmias are observed either alone or in combination in a large fraction of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). As CKD progresses, these cardiovascular conditions become more prevalent and severe. The clinical implications of combined heart and kidney disease in...
متن کاملVascular function assessed with cardiovascular magnetic resonance predicts survival in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease
BACKGROUND Increased arterial stiffness is associated with mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) permits assessment of the central arteries to measure aortic function. METHODS We studied the relationship between central haemodynamics and outcome using CMR in 144 chronic kidney disease patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate <15 m...
متن کاملCardiovascular disease in patients with chronic kidney disease
Patients with chronic kidney disease have a high burden of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The vast majority of patients with chronic kidney disease do not progress to end stage renal failure, but do have a significantly higher incidence of all cardiovascular co-morbidities. Traditional cardiovascular risk factors only partially account for this increased incidence of cardiovascular dis...
متن کاملAdvances in the cardiovascular assessment of patients with chronic kidney disease
Cardiovascular mortality is grossly elevated in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and is associated with a wide variety of structural and functional abnormalities. These issues have driven additional attempts to further characterise these abnormalities to elucidate the pathophysiology involved, assess individual risk and/or target and monitor therapies specifically directed at the car...
