Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular mortality. It is recommended that CKD should be treated as a coronary heart disease equivalent. Ischemic heart disease develops as a result of accelareted coronary atherosclerosis in CKD. Chronic ischemia and kidney dysfunction can alter myocardial structure and function, which may lead to the development of heart failure. This chapter will discuss the treatment of coronary atherosclerosis, heart failure, valvular diseases, and arrhythmias in the setting of chronic kidney disease. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
