Types of cardiovascular disease in CKD

What types of cardiovascular disease are seen in patients with CKD?

There are two major overlapping categories of cardiovascular disease associated with CKD:

  • disorders of cardiovascular perfusion, which includes atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; and
  • disorders of cardiac function, such as congestive heart failure and left ventricular hypertrophy.

Disorders of vascular perfusion include coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, and renovascular disease.
