Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD).

Abstract

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on maintenance hemodialysis (HD). Neither traditional nor emerging risk factors for cardiovascular disease can explain completely this excess of morbidity and mortality and the role and timing of primary prevention strategies in this population has not been clarified. The aim of this study was to assess if an aggressive pharmacological preventive treatment may reduce the myocardial ischemic burden and then improve the cardiovascular outcome In ESRD patients.
