9^th World Congress On Cardiology and Heart Failure

Renal Dysfunction and Cardiorenal Syndrome

Heart failure often leads to renal impairment, creating a vicious cycle that complicates management.

Key Highlights:

• Pathophysiology: Reduced renal perfusion and neurohormonal activation.
• Clinical challenges: Fluid overload, electrolyte imbalance, and medication adjustments.
• Monitoring: Regular renal function tests and electrolyte checks.
• Therapies: Diuretics, ACE inhibitors, and SGLT2 inhibitors balance cardiac and renal needs.
• Outcome improvement: Early detection and integrated management reduce morbidity.

Understanding the cardiorenal interplay is crucial for optimizing treatment strategies in heart failure patients.
