Sudden cardiac death (SCD) represents a major cause of death in end-stage kidney
disease (ESKD). The precise estimate of its incidence is difficult to establish because studies …

Aortic stenosis with concomitant chronic kidney disease (CKD) represents a clinical
challenge. Aortic stenosis is more prevalent and progresses more rapidly and unpredictably …

Background The annual incidence of sudden death has been reported to be low (< 1%/year)
in asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS), and there is a paucity of data on …

Background The prognostic significance of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in severe aortic
stenosis is poorly understood and no studies have yet evaluated the effect of aortic‐valve …

Background: Patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis (ESRD-HD) and aortic
stenosis have poor prognosis. The role of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in …

Valvular heart calcification is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD),
especially in those receiving hemodialysis therapy, and it is associated with poor prognosis …

Background: Many patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) have valvular heart
disease requiring surgery. The optimal prosthetic valve is not established in this population …

Objective To evaluate the long-term outcomes of heart valve replacement with mechanical
prosthesis (MP) versus bioprosthesis (BP) in patients on dialysis. Methods A retrospective …

Prognostic impact of anemia complicating severe aortic stenosis (AS) remains unclear. We
assessed the impact of anemia on cardiovascular and bleeding outcomes in 3403 patients …

Contemporary Outcomes after Surgery and Medical Treatment in Patients with Severe Aortic
Stenosis (CURRENT AS) registry was a large Japanese multicentre retrospective registry of …
