It is expected that an electrophysiologist's attention is singularly focused on the heart. There exists, however, an interplay between the heart and other organ systems that greatly affects not only the pathophysiology of cardiac arrhythmias but also the ability to effectively manage them. Perhaps nowhere is this relationship more profound than in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), in whom the elevated risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) is increasingly apparent yet the approach to prevention muddled in uncertainty.
