Patients with chronic renal insufficiency often show symptoms that are atypical for cardiovascular problems. The correct interpretation of the symptoms is crucial in order to correctly assess the risk of a heart-related emergency and to take preventive measures and initiate the right therapy. Biomarkers such as NT-proBNP, troponin T or hsCRP (highly sensitive CRP) are independent predictors of mortality, but do not replace instrument-based diagnostics. Patients with renal insufficiency often have stiff vessels which, due to the premature reflection of the pulse wave, can lead to left ventricular dysfunction and ultimately to heart failure.
