The article reviews the diagnosis of acute coronary syndromes in dialysis patients, current
literature on myocardial revascularization, and data on fatal and nonfatal cardiac arrhythmia …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in
patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The rate …

Rationale & Objective Inflammation, cardiac remodeling, and fibrosis may explain in part the
excess risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) …

Background: Data on rates of heart failure (HF) hospitalizations, recurrent hospitalizations,
and outcomes related to HF hospitalizations in chronic kidney disease (CKD) are limited …

Patients with severely decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR)(ie, chronic kidney disease
[CKD] G4+) are at increased risk for kidney failure, cardiovascular disease (CVD) events …

Background Cardiac biomarkers may signal mechanistic pathways involved in heart failure
(HF), a leading complication in chronic kidney disease. We tested the associations of NT …

Rationale & Objective Circulating cardiac biomarkers may signal potential mechanistic
pathways involved in heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF). Single measures of …

This study aimed to construct machine learning (ML) models for predicting prolonged length
of stay (pLOS) in intensive care units (ICU) among general ICU patients. A multicenter …

Results Among 349 patients, 112 (32.1%) had a 30-day hospital readmission. The
discharge (versus admission) model was more predictive of 30-day readmission. In the …

Background Patients receiving maintenance hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD)
are frequently hospitalized. Reducing unplanned 30-day hospital readmissions is a key …
