Incidence of clinical outcomes in heart failure patients with and without advanced chronic kidney disease

Abstract

Abstract Aims Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a well‐established risk factor for heart failure (HF); however, patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) eGFR ≥ 30 and eGFR eGFR ≥ 30 and 72.2% for patients with eGFR eGFR ≥ 30 and eGFR 30 (4 year incidence of kidney outcome as the first event was 5.0% for eGFR ≥ 60, 4.8% for 60 > eGFR ≥ 30 and 20.1% for eGFR < 30). Conclusions Patients with advanced CKD had a higher incidence of mortality and poorer kidney outcomes than those without advanced CKD, but a similar incidence of HF hospitalizations.
