Renal dysfunction in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is common and is
associated with increased mortality. Impaired renal function is also a risk factor for …

Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) type 1 is characterized as the development of acute kidney
injury (AKI) and dysfunction in the patient with acute cardiac illness, most commonly acute …

Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is high,

Objectives: We sought to investigate the relationship between increased central venous
pressure (CVP), renal function, and mortality in a broad spectrum of cardiovascular patients …

If HFpEF and HFrEF are part of the same disease process, one would expect to observe a
unimodal distribution of EF within HF populations. In an analysis of data from patients …

Background Renal failure in heart failure is related to decreased cardiac output. However,
little is known about its association with venous congestion. Aims To investigate the …

Aims Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with worse outcomes in heart failure with
preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Whether this association is due the effect of CKD on …
