Cardiovascular risk in dialysis patients: A comparison of risk factors and cardioprotective therapy between 1996 and 2001

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major cause of mortality in dialysis patients. Aspirin, beta‐blockers, statins, and angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors reduce CVD mortality in the general population, as may angiotensin II receptor antagonists. The prevalence of cardiovascular risk fac...

description Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major cause of mortality in dialysis patients. Aspirin, beta‐blockers, statins, and angiotensin‐converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors reduce CVD mortality in the general population, as may angiotensin II receptor antagonists. The prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and usage rates of cardioprotective agents in end‐stage renal failure are unknown. A retrospective, cross‐sectional study of dialysis patients was performed to compare: (i) prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (age, hypertension, hyperlipidaemia, diabetes mellitus, and smoking); (ii) use of cardioprotective agents; and (iii) prevalence of cardiovascular disease between the time‐points: 1996 (n = 262) versus 2001 (n = 369). We found an increase in the risk factors of age (53.6 ± 14.9 years in 1996 vs 58.4 ± 14.3 in 2001; P
