Cardiovascular Disease in End-stage Renal Failure

Studies have shown that half of all dialysis patient deaths can be attributed to cardiovascular disease. This book gives a comprehensive review of the principal cardiovascular complications in patients with end-stage renal disease. It discusses causes, diagnosis, treatment and prevention. Increased prevelance of diabetes and vascular disease amongst an ageing population with end-stage renal disease has made this a topic of extreme importance in nephrology world-wide. The book is directed at nephrologists, cardiologists and internists who care for these patients.
