Cardiorenal Syndrome

“Initially, cardiologists paid a lot of attention to cardiorenal syndromes. There was a paper from Claude Ronco and colleagues published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology defining cardiorenal syndromes as five different entities depending on whether it is the heart that is the culprit or the kidney or both. This was already something really interesting because the cardiology community paid more attention to this category. That said 10 years after, with my colleagues, we revisited it in a white paper published Circulation because we perceived that there is a true continuum in cardiorenal disease.”
