Purpose of Review

The incidence of chronic kidney disease is increasing worldwide, and the previously decreasing incidence of cardiovascular disease has now plateaued. Understanding the intersection of both heart and kidney disease is crucial.

Recent Findings

Chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease share common risk factors and specific pathogenic mechanisms and impact a significant segment of the population. Patients with chronic kidney disease are more likely to have cardiovascular disease than progress to end-stage kidney disease requiring renal replacement therapy.

Summary

We discuss shared risk factors and mechanisms for cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease. The following also addresses contemporary cardiovascular treatment considerations in patients with chronic kidney disease with a focus on atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and heart failure.

慢性肾脏病与心血管疾病的交叉点

审查目的

慢性肾脏病的发病率在全球范围内呈上升趋势，此前心血管疾病发病率下降的趋势现已趋于平稳。了解心脏和肾脏疾病的交叉点至关重要。

最近的发现

慢性肾病和心血管疾病具有共同的风险因素和特定的致病机制，并影响着很大一部分人群。与发展为需要肾脏替代治疗的终末期肾病相比，慢性肾病患者更可能患有心血管疾病。

总结

我们讨论了心血管和慢性肾病的共同危险因素和机制。下面还讨论了慢性肾病患者的当代心血管治疗注意事项，重点是动脉粥样硬化性心血管疾病和心力衰竭。
