Atherosclerosis underlies the vast majority of vascular conditions that are a leading cause of death and serious morbidity or disabilities worldwide. Cardiovascular events rarely occur in patients without underlying disease; rather, they typically take place as the final stage of a pathophysiological process that results in progressive vascular damage, including vital organ damage—specifically, the...
In the early 1960s, microalbuminuria was noted as a predictor of nephropathy and higher cardiovascular risk in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus. Over the past four decades, however, the epidemiological evidence has become far stronger, implicating it as a cardiovascular risk marker than a risk factor associated with nephropathy. Microalbuminuria is also a marker of endothelial dysfunction, increased...
Cardiovascular disease contributes to about 50% of overall mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. Alterations in left ventricular mass (LVM) and geometry and LV dysfunction are commonly prevalent and represent the strongest death predictors in this high-risk population. Although more refined techniques based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are available, quantitative echocardiography...
