Abstract

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 aspects of pathophysiology, investigation methods and current treatment of cardiovascular disease in CKD patients.
