Sudden cardiac death in chronic kidney disease and dialysis: From descriptive epidemiology to mechanism-driven prevention.

Article No results yet Peer reviewed

Key takeaways

This review looks at sudden cardiac death in people with kidney disease and on dialysis, meaning the heart suddenly stops. On dialysis it causes about one quarter to one third of all deaths. The risk clusters around the long gap between dialysis sessions and the first session after it. This is a review of past work, so it reports no new results.
