Patients with chronic kidney disease are at increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, with the increased prevalence of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmia being an important factor. The underlying pathomechanisms are diverse and mainly cause increasing atrial and ventricular fibrosis with so-called cardiac remodeling. In particular, patients with advanced kidney disease were excluded from many pioneering clinical trials, so there are no clear guidelines in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmia for these patients. The potential benefits of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy for the prevention of sudden cardiac death or the benefits of anticoagulation for prevention of thromboembolic events in atrial fibrillation should therefore be evaluated individually for each patient with advanced kidney disease, taking comorbidities and the prognosis into account. When using antiarrhythmic drugs, adose adjustment may be necessary depending on the pharmacokinetics and metabolism. Although atrial fibrillation treatment by means of pulmonary vein isolation can lead to an improvement in kidney function, the success rate seems to be significantly reduced in the presence of advanced kidney disease. Overall, an individual therapy and treatment concept for each patient with advanced chronic kidney disease is advisable.
