Abstract: 【Abstract】The number of hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis patients increase yearly in China. The incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is higher in dialysis patients, causing higher mortality in these patients. This article focuses on CVD, including coronary atherosclerotic heart disease and heart failure, in dialysis patients. The principles of diagnosis and management of CVD in dialysis patients are similar to those in non-renal patients. However, some of the examinations, treatment indicators and effects, and medication side effects are specific to dialysis patients.
