Key result
Undiagnosed CKD is investigated for associations with cardiovascular outcomes in high-risk FINEARTS-HF patients.
Why the study?
The prevalence of undiagnosed chronic kidney disease in high-risk individuals with heart failure and its association with cardiovascular outcomes were not well characterized.
What is the prevalence of undiagnosed chronic kidney disease and its association with cardiovascular outcomes in high-risk individuals with heart failure?

“And what we showed, ultimately, was that individuals with a higher level of kidney risk at baseline had a much higher risk of several forms of adverse events. Critically, we showed that the profile of efficacy on total heart failure events and cardiovascular death was actually similar across these groups.”
Undiagnosed CKD signals higher CV risk in HF; leaves open whether systematic screening improves stratification or outcomes.
This secondary analysis of the FINEARTS-HF (Finerenone Trial to Investigate Efficacy and Safety Superior to Placebo in Patients With Heart Failure) randomized clinical trial investigates the prevalence of undiagnosed chronic kidney disease in high-risk individuals with heart failure and its association with cardiovascular outcomes.
