Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy in the Cardiorenal Syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
The cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is a complex clinical syndrome in which dysfunction of either the heart or the kidneys affects the functioning of the other organ system. Many therapies used in heart failure have further detrimental effects on renal function. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a relatively new form of device therapy that reduces morbidity and mortality in patients with heart failure. This review will discuss the effects of CRT on renal function in patients with CRS, the impact of baseline renal function on response to CRT, and potential risks associated with CRT in this unique population.

Acute cardiorenal syndrome: Mechanisms and clinical implications.
Cardiac and renal dysfunction often coexist, and one begets the other. The association is referred to as cardiorenal syndrome. One subtype, acute cardiorenal syndrome, is often described as a clinical scenario in which acute worsening of cardiac function leads to acute kidney injury. Though this definition covers the basic pathophysiologic framework, a robust clinical definition is still lackin...
متن کاملColchicine reduced pericardial effusion due to postcardiac injury syndrome following cardiac resynchronization therapy implantation
We present a case of postcardiac injury syndrome with pericardial effusion following cardiac resynchronization therapy implantation which was treated by only colchicine. Although treatment using colchicine is not as common as NSAIDs or steroids, colchicine seems to be an effective and safe treatment option for the syndrome.

In cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) type 2, chronic heart failure (HF) results in the onset or progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Examples of CRS type 2 (CRS2) include progressive CKD resulting from chronic HF in congenital or acquired heart disease or from repeated bouts of acute decompensated HF. Animal data and clinical studies indicate that extended periods of chronic HF result in alter...
متن کاملNitric oxide mediated the effects of nebivolol in cardiorenal syndrome
Objective(s): Despite several proposed mechanisms for the pathophysiology of cardiorenal syndrome (CRS), the exact mechanism remains unclear. Nitrosative stress has been argued as a key mechanism recently. Nebivolol is a beta-blocker with nitric oxide (NO)-releasing effect. In the present study, NO-mediated effects of two different treatment regimes of nebivolol in CRS...
متن کاملEffect of cardiac resynchronization therapy on functional mitral regurgitation in heart failure.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) reduces functional mitral regurgitation (MR) at rest. This study assessed exercise-induced changes in MR in patients with heart failure who were helped by CRT. The determinants of these exercise-induced changes in MR were analyzed in asynchronous and resynchronized left ventricles.
