Abstract

Heart failure and renal insufficiency as well as pulmonary hypertension are pathophysiologically closely associated as acardio-renal or cardio-pulmonary-renal syndrome. Due to the frequent hospitalization of patients affected by this syndrome, it is of high medical and also health economic relevance. Besides the inhibition of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), multimodal treatment options are available with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors and sodium-glucose transporter2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors. Profound knowledge of the pathophysiology and the therapeutic options is as necessary for an optimized medical care as patient-oriented, transdisciplinary and cross-sectoral care.
