What are the Common Cardiovascular Complications in Renal Disease?
Patients with renal disorders are prone to various cardiovascular complications such as:
- Hypertension: Often both a cause and consequence of renal dysfunction. - Heart Failure: Fluid overload and anemia in renal patients can exacerbate heart failure. - Coronary Artery Disease: Accelerated by chronic inflammation and oxidative stress. - Arrhythmias: Electrolyte imbalances, particularly potassium and calcium, can cause arrhythmias. - Left Ventricular Hypertrophy: Common due to the increased workload on the heart from hypertension and volume overload.
