Cardiovascular care in end-stage renal disease

Advances in Chronic Kidney Disease
Peter A McCullough

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for the majority of morbidity and mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Chronic kidney disease, and ESRD as its most severe form, are now acknowledged to be independent risk factors for CVD. The spectrum of CVD includes accelerated atherosclerosis, myocardial disease and heart failure, cardiac arrhythmias, and valvular heart disease. In addition, CKD and ESRD are independent and powerful factors that complicate cardiovascular procedures and have been directly linked to increased mortality. This issue of Advances in Chronic Kidney Disease will explore the spectrum of risk and the opportunities to improve care in ESRD in outpatient management, during dialysis, after kidney transplantation, and in coronary revascularization.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
