Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
In patients with chronic kidney disease, the risk of developing heart failure is comparable to that of coronary heart disease and greater than stroke, highlighting the critical need to prioritize heart failure prevention in this population.
Among 3 diverse community-based cohorts, CKD was associated with an increased risk of HF that was similar in magnitude to CHD and greater than stroke. The excess risk of HF associated with CKD was particularly large among African American and Hispanic individuals. Efforts to improve health outcomes for patients with CKD should prioritize HF in addition to CHD prevention.
