| Sumario: | <p id="p1">Cardiovascular Disease in Chronic Kidney Disease. Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is a topical issue of public health concern in Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Patients. Worldwide, CVDs are the leading cause of death. The burden of CKD is growing and CKD patients have been observed to develop CVD very early, contributing to the accelerated progression of the underlying kidney disease. CVD has also been found as the usual cause of death in CKD patients rather than the progression of the CKD itself. The risk factors for CKD and CVD are mutual and interwoven, hence CKD has been termed CVD risk equivalent. Early identification and intervention of CVD risk factors in CKD patients is imperative to limit the progression of disease and mitigate its attendant consequences.</p> |
