Multimodal Detection of Subclinical Cardiovascular Disease in Chronic Kidney Disease.

Article No results yet Peer reviewed

Key takeaways

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in people with chronic kidney disease, and this review explains why: inflammation, hardened and calcium-filled blood vessels, and waste products the kidneys cannot clear. The authors say early heart damage often goes unnoticed until it is advanced, and they review scans and tests that could catch it sooner. This is a review of existing methods, not a study, so there are no new results.
