Cardiovascular disease is highly prevalent in chronic kidney disease and has been associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Several morphological and functional tests are available to assess the cardiovascular system. Since structural and functional cardiovascular abnormalities have prognostic implications, their identification may become crucial for the implementation of effective preventive and therapeutic strategies. We review the most frequently used imaging methods to investigate structural and functional cardiovascular changes in patients with chronic kidney disease.
心血管疾病在慢性肾脏病中非常普遍，并且与发病率和死亡率的增加有关。有几种形态和功能测试可用于评估心血管系统。由于结构和功能心血管异常具有预后意义，因此识别它们可能对实施有效的预防和治疗策略变得至关重要。我们回顾了最常用于研究慢性肾脏病患者结构和功能心血管变化的影像学方法。
