Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD), whereas those with established CVD are at risk of incident or progressive CKD. Compared with individuals with normal or near normal kidney function, there are fewer data to guide the management of patients with CVD and CKD. As a joint effort between the National Kidney Foundation and the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, a workshop and subsequent review of the published literature was held. The present document summarizes the best practice recommendations of the working group and highlights areas for further investigation.
