Principles and Practice of Nephrocardiology is a comprehensive introduction to the interdisciplinary subspecialty field of Nephrocardiology. It provides detailed descriptions of its scope and in-depth exploration of its primary nine elements and topics. Coverage spans pathophysiology, epidemiology, prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring, therapy, risk factors, and the systemic diseases that involve both nephrology-related conditions and cardiovascular diseases.The book guides clinicians in multiple interdisciplinary specialties, as well as general practitioners, through their diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic approach to a wide variety of patient populations. It also opens a myriad of new avenues for future research and guidance for approaching multiple medical topics.
