Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an independent risk factor for the development of coronary artery disease, and more severe coronary heart disease. CKD is also associated with adverse outcomes in those with existing cardiovascular disease. This includes increased mortality after an acute coronary syndrome, percutaneous coronary intervention with or without stenting, and coronary artery bypass. In addition, patients with CKD are more likely to present with atypical symptoms, which may delay diagnosis and adversely affect outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
• Define cardiorenal syndrome and the classification of cardiac and renal interactions.
• Examine the latest outcomes data for patients with acute kidney injury (AKI).
• Determine the most appropriate diagnostic testing and treatment plan for patients with cardiorenal syndromes.
