[Cardiovascular treatment in chronic kidney disease].

Patients with combined cardiac and renal diseases are particularly challenging in the routine clinical practice due to the substantial risk profile for increased morbidity and mortality. As cardiorenal patients have often been underrepresented in randomized, controlled interventional trials, guideline recommendations regarding the choice of treatment are often weaker for these individuals than for cardiovascular patients without chronic kidney disease. Furthermore, there are limitations in the approval of certain medications depending on the kidney function. This review addresses some considerations in crucial treatment areas for patients with cardiovascular diseases, whose treatment is significantly influenced by concomitant chronic kidney disease.
