PY - 2009 T2 - CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment: Nephrology & Hypertension AB - Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is highly prevalent among patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is the most common cause of death in this population.The manifestations of CVD in CKD are variable and include left ventricular hypertrophy, ischemic heart disease, heart failure, and peripheral vascular disease.Traditional and nontraditional (or “uremia-related”) cardiac risk factors are common in CKD.Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for the presence of CVD in patients with CKD, even when the presentation is atypical.An aggressive approach to diagnosis and treatment of CVD is recommended in patients with CKD.
