Cardiovascular Disease and Predisposing Factors in Chronic Renal Failure
Journal of Clinical and Basic Cardiology 2001; 4 (2): 97-100
PDF Summary
Keywords: chronische Niereninsuffizienz, Diabetes mellitus, Dialyse, Dyslipidämie, Entzündung, ESRD, Hypertonie, kardiovaskuläre Erkrankung, kardiovaskuläre Mortalität, kardiovaskulärer Risikofaktor, Nierenerkrankung-Endstadium, cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular mortality, cardiovascular risk factors, chronic renal disease, Diabetes, dialysis, dyslipidaemia, end-stage renal disease, ESRD, hypertension, inflammation
The cardiovascular mortality in dialysis patients is 10 to 20 times higher than in the general population. Therefore patients with end-stage renal disease should be considered in the highest risk group for subsequent cardiovascular disease. The excess risk is caused by multiple traditional and non-traditional risk factors for ischaemic heart disease. The evaluation of the specific cardiovascular risk profile in each patient, appropriate prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease is demanded.
