This review identifies and explains the hemodynamic changes underlying cardiorenal syndrome and evaluates potential noninvasive methods to help manage affected patients.
This review highlights the importance of understanding hemodynamic changes in cardiorenal syndrome and the potential of noninvasive evaluation methods for patient management.
May support noninvasive hemodynamic assessment in cardiorenal syndrome; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Cardiorenal syndrome is a group of disorders resulting from the pathological interaction between the heart and the kidneys. The most accepted classification of cardiorenal syndrome differentiates the types based on the temporal sequence of organ involvement. Although many mechanisms seem to be involved in the pathogenesis, cardiac hemodynamic changes are still considered one of the major parameters that affect the cross talk between these organs. As heart failure and chronic kidney disease reach endemic proportions, the necessity to understand the pathophysiology, hemodynamics, and effective therapy of cardiorenal syndrome becomes fundamental. The aim of this review is to identify and explain the hemodynamic changes behind the syndrome and evaluate potential noninvasive methods that can help develop a practical tool for managing the cardiorenal patient.
