Abstract
Renal insufficiency is frequently seen in patients with cardiovascular disease. In contrast, coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in patients with renal impairment. The recognition of renal insufficiency is essential in these patients and preventive measures must be put in place to prevent the progression or onset of cardiovascular disease. In this article, we explain the methods to assess kidney function, the epidemiology of coronary heart disease in patients with renal impairment, risk factors conventional and non-conventional found in these patients and the main recommendations for their therapeutic care.
