What Happens to the Heart in Chronic Kidney Disease?

Abstract: Cardiovascular disease is common in patients with chronic kidney disease. The increased risk of cardiovascular disease seen in this population is attributable to both traditional and novel vascular risk factors. Risk of sudden cardiac or arrhythmogenic death is greatly exaggerated in chronic kidney disease, particularly in patients with end stage renal disease where the risk is roughly 20 times that of the general population. The reasons for this increased risk are not entirely understood and while atheroscler… Show more

“…Around 10% of adults are affected by CKD specifically in older age groups and also CKD has a high connection with premature death as well as cardiovascular disease. 1416 In CKD patients, there are no specific symptoms in early stages and symptoms are non-specific even in later stages. Eventually, CKD patients can develop into End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) that calls for kidney replacement therapies which include from chronic dialysis to kidney transplantation.…”

“…This vascular insult sets the cascade of atherosclerosis in motion, which in turn, is accelerated by the circulating cytokines in systemic inflammation [3]. ESRD also contributes to the development of MI by promoting myocardial fibrosis, ventricular dilation, and hypertrophy [4]. These are non-modifiable, but controllable risk factors.…”

“…The molecular, ultrastructural and geometric changes of the heart and vasculature collectively lead to reduced cardiac efficiency and hence increased myocardial energy expenditure and oxygen consumption. Unfortunately, cardiac remodeling occurs early in the course of CKD leading to left ventricular (LV) diastolic then systolic dysfunction and sudden cardiac death (Edwards et al, 2014;Rutherford and Mark, 2017).…”
