Abstract
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) exhibit a massively increased risk for cardiovascular (CV) events, and traditional strategies to improve CV outcome have largely failed in the context of CKD. This review article summarizes the current understanding of the pathophysiology of CVD in patients with CKD, defines the gaps in knowledge and describes the structure of the German Transregional Research Consortium SFB TRR219 which addresses "Mechanisms of Cardiovascular Complications in Chronic Kidney Disease".
