Pathophysiology of cardiovascular diseases in patients with chronic kidney failure. Several risk factors, both modifiable and non-modifiable, contribute to the pathological mechanisms leading to CV events in patients with chronic kidney failure. On the other hand, CVD often contributes to worsened kidney function, accounting for the complex relationship between heart and kidney pathophysiology. CVD = cardiovascular disease; eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate.
