Cardiac disease is the major cause of death in dialysis patients,
accounting for over one third of deaths. This book focuses on
myocardial function and dysfunction in chronic uremia. It is aimed
at practicing and training nephrologists, cardiologists, and
internists, and at research workers in the field. We have tried to
produce an up-to-date, in-depth review of the subject by inviting
experts in clinical epidemiology, pathophysiology, and thera
peutics to write the 18 chapters. The book is divided into three
sections. The first section comprises five chapters that provide an
overview of the burden of illness associated with cardiac disease
in end-stage renal disease and a review of clinical epidemi
ological aspects of various cardiac diseases that occur in renal
patients. The second section discusses abnormalities of left
ventricular contractility and mass, and the factors that predispose
to both systolic and diastolic disorders. The importance of
hypertension, anemia, hyperparathyroidism, hyper lipidemia, and
diabetes mellitus in predisposing to these abnormalities is
reviewed splendidly by researchers active in these areas. The final
section concentrates on therapeutics. Data and opinion on
management of congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, coronary
artery disease, hypertension, and arrhythmias are provided. In
editing this book, we have reviewed an extensive literature, but un
fortunately we have become more aware that substantial gaps in our
knowl edge exist. Insufficient high-quality clinical research has
been undertaken xiii xiv Preface regarding the various cardiac
diseases that occur in end-stage renal disease."
