Optimizing The Management of Obese HFpEF Phenotype: Can We Mind Both The Heart and The Kidney?

Achieving effective and safe diuresis without compromising renal function is a primary goal of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) management. Cardiorenal syndrome represents the interdependent relation between the heart and kidneys during disease onset and progression. This important link between cardiac and renal pathophysiology is demonstrated by the high prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with HF and vice versa. Dysfunction in both organs is strongly associated with increased morbidity and mortality.
