“…The association between impaired renal function and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is well established in the general population, particularly for severe levels of renal impairment [1][2][3][4][5][6]. As such, >50% of all deaths among individuals with end-stage renal disease are related to a CVD event [7].…”

“…The relationship between renal impairment and CVD is complex and may be mediated through a variety of different pathways [3,6,14]. These include accelerated coronary and cerebrovascular atherosclerosis (which may be mediated in part by increased inflammation and oxidative stress) atrial fibrillation, and ventricular hypertrophy, which are common at severe levels of renal impairment and may, similar to electrolyte abnormalities, promote dysrhythmias, resulting in stroke or sudden cardiac death [3,[15][16][17][18][19][20].…”

“…Finally, one interesting alternative recently described in the context of CKD is the use of cardiac biomarkers, such as troponin T and NT-pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP). These plasma biomarkers proved to be useful for diagnostic and prognostic purposes in myocardiopathy related to more advanced stages of CKD (18). Although they do not replace CMRI or ECHO-based imaging methods, these surrogate markers may ultimately progress to play an adjunctive role in assessing cardiovascular risk of CKD subjects (18).…”

“…The elevated risk of patients with chronic heart failure supports the theory of underlying irreversible pathological pro cesses. However, reversible release of cTn in analogy to the marathon runners may also contribute to the elevated cTn levels in these patients (23).…”
