Abstract:
Despite significant improvements in technology of dialysis delivery, cardiovascular disease remains the mayor cause of death in dialysis patients. Individuals with End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD( present an high incidence of coronary artery disease, arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death (SCD). This review summarizes the current available literature regarding the physiopathology, the risk factors and potential interventions to reduce the risk of SCD in dialysis patients, including medical therapy or defibrillators.
