Cardiorenal syndrome - the presence of significant renal
insufficiency and heart failure simultaneously - constitutes one of
the most vexing and difficult challenges facing clinicians and
researchers today. Given the fundamental role of the kidneys in
maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance within the body, it comes
as no surprise that renal abnormalities are inextricably linked
with congestive heart failure. What is surprising is that recent
data have indicated that renal dysfunction is a more critical
determinant of mortality than heart failure itself. In The
Cardiorenal Syndrome: A Clinician's Guide to Pathophysiology and
Management, experts from around the world clearly outline the
current issues associated with this increasingly prevalent
condition, provide invaluable insight into its pathophysiology, and
highlight the risks, benefits, and rationales for both practical
and promising prevention and treatment strategies, including:
Diuretics, Role of ACE inhibitors/ angiotensin receptor blockers in
renal dysfunction, New "designer" peptides for heart failure,
Inotropes and neurohormonal blockade, Dialysis and ultrafiltration,
Renal cell therapy, Left ventricular assist device implantation,
and Renal and/or heart transplantation. While recognition of the
role of renal dysfunction in the progression of heart failure is a
pivotal advance, many questions about the scope and impact of this
condition remain. This book serves as a touchstone for
cardiovascular specialists and internists as they encounter the
diverse varieties of cardiorenal syndrome and attempt to navigate
the radically different and evolving therapeutic options in their
quest to provide optimal individualized care for their patients.
