PREVIEW

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is prevalent in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and is responsible for the majority of morbidity and mortality in this patient population. Although many identifiable risk factors and therapeutic strategies exist for treatment of CVD, most of them are underused in the care of patients who have kidney disease. In this article, Drs Levin, Stevens, and McCullough highlight the issues concerning treatment of CVD in patients who have CKD. Early recognition of both CKD and attendant CVD is becoming the purview of the primary care physician in conjunction with members of subspecialty teams.
