This book is the first title that focuses exclusively on kidney
disease and its impact in the cardiac catheterization laboratory.
The increasing prevalence of vascular risk factors such as
diabetes, obesity and hypertension coupled with increased longevity
has resulted in a worldwide epidemic of cardiovascular and chronic
kidney disease (CKD). Never has the impact of one organ system on
the other been so profound, as in the current context of
cardio-renal interactions. The cross talk between the heart and
kidneys is highly relevant in the field of interventional
cardiology, given the increasing number of trans-catheter
procedures being performed in patients with underlying kidney
disease. These procedures also have a significant impact on kidney
function and require thoughtful interdisciplinary planning by a
cardiorenal team, to achieve optimal outcomes This book assembles
the collective expertise of several international leaders in the
field of interventional cardiology and nephrology to summarize this
complex interface. The book is divided into seven sections to
comprehensively cover the topic, including sections on best
practices with reduction of contrast associated acute kidney
injury, cutting edge techniques to minimize kidney risk with
complex interventions, impact of transcatheter valvular procedures
on kidney function and the utility of cardio-nephrology teams .
Less recognized complications with high morbidity such as
athero-embolic renal disease are featured prominently, to increase
awareness in the interventional cardiology and nephrology
communities. This book is a valuable resource for interventional
and structural cardiologists, general cardiologists and
nephrologists dealing with the significant overlap areas between
these two specialties. It is also relevant to medical students,
trainee physicians in nephrology and cardiology, advanced care
practitioners and nursing personnel in both specialties . Given the
major impact of kidney function on outcomes in patients undergoing
cardiac procedures, this textbook serves as a focal point to
integrate relevant clinical data from both specialties and help
interventional cardiologists achieve optimal outcomes, especially
in patients with (or at risk for) kidney disease.
