ABSTRACT
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at a very high risk of adverse cardiovascular events. In CKD patients, vascular calcification is more prevalent, appears at an earlier age, and is more severe than in the general population. CKD physiology rather than the effects of dialysis is the primary driver of microvascular disease in these patients. Considering the significant morbidity and mortality attributable to cardiovascular disease in the CKD population, risk stratification remains an important challenge. Topics such as function vs anatomy to properly risk stratify these patients, as well as future perspectives on non-invasive techniques, will be addressed.
