12 PREFACE Cardiac disease is the major cause of death in dialysis patients, accounting for over one third of deaths. This book focuses on myocardial function and dysfunction in chronic uremia. It is aimed at practicing and training nephrologists, cardiologists, and internists, and at research workers in the field. We have tried to produce an up-to-date, in-depth review of the subject by inviting experts in clinical epidemiology, pathophysiology, and therapeutics to write the 18 chapters. The book is divided into three sections. The first section comprises five chapters that provide an overview of the burden of illness associated with cardiac disease in end-stage renal disease and a review of clinical epidemiological aspects of various cardiac diseases that occur in renal patients. The second section discusses abnormalities of left ventricular contractility and mass, and the factors that predispose to both systolic and diastolic disorders. The importance of hypertension, anemia, hyperparathyroidism, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes mellitus in predisposing to these abnormalities is reviewed splendidly by researchers active in these areas. The final section concentrates on therapeutics. Data and opinion on management of congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, hypertension, and arrhythmias are provided. In editing this book, we have reviewed an extensive literature, but unfortunately we have become more aware that substantial gaps in our knowledge exist. Insufficient high-quality clinical research has been undertaken xiii

13 xiv Preface regarding the various cardiac diseases that occur in end-stage renal disease. The pathogenesis of many of these disorders is still uncertain, and management of cardiac problems is often based on opinion rather than science. Hopefully, this book will bring you up-to-date and help you understand some of the clinical problems that occur in chronic uremia. However, our biggest hope is that the book will identify some of the problems that remain in the area of cardiac dysfunction in end-stage renal disease and will stimulate you to solve some of them.
