| Abstract text: | Heart disease or cardiovascular diseases is the class of diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels (arteries and veins). While the term technically refers to any disease that affects the cardiovascular system, it is usually used to refer to those related to atherosclerosis (arterial disease). These conditions have similar causes, mechanisms, and treatments. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) affect the heart and surrounding blood vessels and can take many forms, such as high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, heart disease and stroke. CVD are the largest cause of death in the EU and account for approximately 40% of deaths or 2 million deaths per year. Although chronic kidney disease sometimes results from primary diseases of the kidneys themselves, the major causes are diabetes, high blood pressure, ischemic cardiopathy and cardiac insufficiency. We are presenting a study made on 152 patients over 70 years, with heart diseases, including high blood pressure, ischemic cardiopathy and cardiac insufficiency. We calculated the creatinine clearance of all patients with high blood pressure, ischemic cardiopathy and cardiac insufficiency. The study is based on the interpretation of the creatinine clearance of 152 patients with cardiovascular diseases, showing the risk of renal failure in elderly people with heart diseases. The study shows differences between man and woman, concerning kidney function at same age group and same cardiac pathology. |
