Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in the ever-growing population of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Despite the well described association, development of tools to enhance early diagnosis and initiate treatment in the CKD population has been lacking. We sought to study the feasibility of a multi-variable biomarker approach to predict incident HF risk in CKD.
