The term cardiorenal syndrome has evolved over the years. The understanding of the interactions between these two organ systems has led to better recognition and treatment strategies. As cardiovascular mortality is high in individuals with renal dysfunction, it is imperative to understand the pathophysiology behind the disease process. This knowledge may better serve these patients with this syndrome and improve their outcomes. In this review, we examine the key issues of the cardiorenal syndrome from a cardiologist's perspective.
多年来,心肾综合征这一术语不断演变。对这两个器官系统之间相互作用的认识带来了更好的识别和治疗策略。由于肾功能不全患者的心血管死亡率很高,因此必须了解疾病过程背后的病理生理学。这些知识可能会更好地服务于患有这种综合征的患者,并改善他们的预后。在这篇综述中,我们从心脏病专家的角度审视心肾综合征的关键问题。
