IJERPH, Vol. 15, Pages 2082: Syncope and Collapse Are Associated with an Increased Risk of Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality in Patients Undergoing Dialysis
Conclusion: SC was significantly associated with cardiovascular events and overall mortality in the patients on dialysis. SC may serve as a prodrome for cardiovascular comorbidities, thereby assisting clinicians in identifying high-risk patients.

IJERPH, Vol. 15, Pages 2733: Statins and Cardiovascular Disease Outcomes in Chronic Kidney Disease: Reaffirmation vs. Repudiation
orris Cardiovascular disease (CVD) burden is several-fold higher in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Although statins have been shown to provide significant CVD benefits in both the general population and patients with CKD, this has not translated into survival advantage in patients with advanced CKD or on dialysis. It has been reported that CVD risk continues to escalate as CKD progresses to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD); however, the CVD risk reduction by statins appears to decline as patients’ progress from the early to later stages of CKD. Statins have also been associated with a higher i...
