Chronic kidney disease and atrial fibrillation as components of the cardiorenal continuum
Abstract
The paper discusses the present-day idea on a relationship between atrial fibrillation and chronic kidney disease, the specific features of therapeutic policy, and the place of antithrombotic therapy in particular. Based on the results of population-based studies, the authors set forth the specific features of cardiac arrhythmias concurrent with kidney injury, as well as promising directions to optimize management schemes for this category of patients.
