Abstract
Heart failure (HF) constitutes a major determinant of outcome in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. The main pattern of HF in CKD patients is preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is a frequent pathophysiological mechanism and specific preclinical manifestation of HFpEF. Therefore, exploring and intervention of the factors associated with risk for LVDD is of great importance in reducing the morbidity and mortality of cardiovascular disease (CVD) complications in CKD patients. We designed this retrospective cross-sectional study to collect clinical and echocardiographic data from 339 nondialysis CKD patients without obvious symptoms of HF to analyze the proportion of asymptomatic left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (ALVDD) and its related factors associated with risk by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Among the 339 nondialysis CKD patients, 92.04% had ALVDD. With the progression of CKD stage, the proportion of ALVDD gradually increased. The multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that increased age (OR 1.237; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.108-1.381, per year), diabetic nephropathy (DN) and hypertensive nephropathy (HTN) (OR 25.000; 95% CI 1.355-48.645, DN and HTN vs chronic interstitial nephritis), progression of CKD stage (OR 2.785; 95% CI 1.228-6.315, per stage), increased mean arterial pressure (OR 1.154; 95% CI 1.051-1.268, per mmHg), increased urinary protein (OR 2.825; 95% CI 1.484-5.405, per g/24 h), and low blood calcium (OR 0.072; 95% CI 0.006-0.859, per mmol/L) were factors associated with risk for ALVDD in nondialysis CKD patients after adjusting for other confounding factors. Therefore, dynamic monitoring of these factors associated with risk, timely diagnosis and treatment of ALVDD can delay the progression to symptomatic HF, which is of great importance for reducing CVD mortality, and improving the prognosis and quality of life in CKD patients.

Abstract
Objective To examine the association of left atrial (LA) function with incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) and assess the clinical utility of adding LA function to a CKD risk prediction equation. Patients and Methods We included 4002 Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study participants without prevalent CKD (mean ± SD age, 75±5 years; 58% female, 18% Black). Left atrial function (reservoir, conduit, and contractile strain) was evaluated by 2D-echocardiograms on 2011 to 2013. Chronic kidney disease was defined as greater than 25% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate of less than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, end-stage kidney disease, or hospital records. Cox proportional hazards models were used. Risk prediction and decision curve analyses evaluated 5-year CKD risk by diabetes status. Results Median follow-up was 7.2 years, and 598 participants developed incident CKD. Incidence rate for CKD was 2.29 per 100 person-years. After multivariable adjustments, the lowest quintile of LA reservoir, conduit, and contractile strain (vs highest quintile) had a higher risk of CKD (hazard ratios [95% CIs]: 1.94 [1.42-2.64], 1.62 [1.19-2.20], and 1.49 [1.12-1.99]). Adding LA reservoir strain to the CKD risk prediction equation variables increased the C-index by 0.026 (95% CI: 0.005-0.051) and 0.031 (95% CI: 0.006-0.058) in participants without and with diabetes, respectively. Decision curve analysis found the model with LA reservoir strain had a higher net benefit than the model with CKD risk prediction equation variables alone. Conclusion Lower LA function is independently associated with incident CKD. Adding LA function to the CKD risk prediction enhances prediction and yields a higher clinical net benefit. These findings suggest that impaired LA function may be a novel risk factor for CKD.

Abstract
Overhydration and cardiac function abnormalities are common in hemodialysis patients. The association of N-terminal prohormone for brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and other fluid status biomarkers with echocardiographic parameters of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is scarcely investigated in this population. A total of 100 separate measurements performed in 50 dialysis patients (29 male, aged 60 ± 17 years) in NYHA class II/II and preserved left ventricle ejection fraction were analyzed. Plasma levels of NT-proBNP, mid-regional prohormone for atrial natriuretic peptide (MR-proANP) and copeptin (CPP) were measured. The E/e' ratio as an index of HFpEF and other echocardiographic parameters were calculated. An E/e' ratio >9 was associated with higher median right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) and LVMI values. Left atrium volume index (LAVI) as well as NT-proBNP and MR-proANP, but not CPP levels were significantly higher in this group. In a stepwise multivariate analysis, only CPP and IL-6 levels were found to be independently associated with the E/e' ratio in the study group, whereas NT-proBNP and MR-proANP were associated only with left heart structure parameters and LVEF. Of the analyzed biomarkers, only the CPP level was found to be independently associated with the E/e' ratio in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a major cause of mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and diagnosis is challenging. Moreover, no specific biomarker for HFpEF has been validated in patients with CKD. The present study aimed to investigate the association between serum osteoprotegerin (OPG) levels and the risk of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD), a surrogate of HFpEF, in patients with pre-dialysis CKD. METHODS A total of 2039 patients with CKD at stage 1 to pre-dialysis 5 were categorized into quartiles (Q1 to Q4) by serum OPG levels, and were cross-sectionally analyzed. The study outcome was LVDD, which was operationally defined as the ratio of early transmitral blood flow velocity to early diastolic velocity of the mitral annulus (E/e') > 14. RESULTS In the analysis of baseline characteristics, higher serum OPG levels were clearly related to the risk factors of HFpEF. A scatter plot analysis revealed a moderate correlation between serum OPG levels and E/e' (R = 0.351, P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the risk of LVDD in Q3 (adjusted odds ratio 2.576, 95% confidence interval 1.279 to 5.188) and Q4 (adjusted odds ratio 3.536, 95% confidence interval 1.657 to 7.544) was significantly higher than that in Q1. CONCLUSIONS Elevated serum OPG levels are associated with the risk of LVDD in patients with pre-dialysis CKD. The measurement of serum OPG levels may help the diagnosis of LVDD, which is an important echocardiographic feature of HFpEF.

Abstract
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by clustered age-independent concentric left ventricular (LV) geometry, geometry-independent systolic dysfunction and age and heart rate-independent diastolic dysfunction. Concentric LV geometry is always associated with echocardiographic markers of abnormal LV relaxation and increased myocardial stiffness, two hallmarks of diastolic dysfunction. Non-haemodynamic mechanisms such as metabolic and electrolyte abnormalities, activation of biological pathways and chronic exposure to cytokine cascade and the myocardial macrophage system also impact myocardial structure and impair the architecture of the myocardial scaffold, producing and increasing reactive fibrosis and altering myocardial distensibility. This review addresses the pathophysiology of diastole in CKD and its relations with cardiac mechanics, haemodynamic loading, structural conditions, non-haemodynamic factors and metabolic characteristics. The three mechanisms of diastole will be examined: elastic recoil, active relaxation and passive distensibility and filling. Based on current evidence, we briefly provide methods for quantification of diastolic function and discuss whether diastolic dysfunction represents a distinct characteristic in CKD or a proxy of the severity of the cardiovascular condition, with the potential to be predicted by the general cardiovascular phenotype. Finally, the review discusses assessment of diastolic function in the context of CKD, with special emphasis on end-stage kidney disease, to indicate whether and when in-depth measurements might be helpful for clinical decision making in this context.

Abstract
PURPOSE Cardiovascular disease is commonly accompanied by renal dysfunction. Multimorbidity in hospitalized patients impacts unfavorably on prognosis and hospital stay. We aimed to illustrate the contemporary burden of cardiorenal morbidity across inpatient cardiology care in Greece. METHODS The Hellenic Cardiorenal Morbidity Snapshot (HECMOS) used an electronic platform to collect demographic and clinically relevant information about all patients hospitalized on March 3, 2022, in Greece. The participating institutions covered all levels of inpatient cardiology care and most of the country's territories to collect a real-world, nation representative sample. RESULTS A total of 923 patients (men 68.4%, median age 73 ± 14.8 years) were admitted to 55 different cardiology departments. 57.7% of the participants were aged >70 years. Hypertension was highly prevalent and present in 66% of the cases. History of chronic HF, diabetes mellitus, atrial fibrillation, and chronic kidney disease was present in 38%, 31.8%, 30%, and 26%, respectively. Furthermore, 64.1% of the sample exhibited at least one of these 4 entities. Accordingly, a combination of ≥2 of these morbid conditions was recorded in 38.7%, of ≥3 in 18.2%, whereas 4.3% of the sample combined all 4 in their medical history. The most common combination was the coexistence of heart failure-atrial fibrillation accounting for 20.6% of the sample. Nine of 10 nonelectively admitted patients were hospitalized due to acute HF (39.9%), acute coronary syndrome (33.5%), or tachyarrhythmias (13.2%). CONCLUSION HECMOS participants carried a remarkable burden of cardio-reno-metabolic disease. HF in conjunction with atrial fibrillation was found to be the most prevalent combination among the studied cardiorenal nexus of morbidities in the whole study population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate the association between the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE)/systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) ratio and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and their association with mortality in the European Scleroderma Trials and Research (EUSTAR) cohort. METHODS Patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) from the EUSTAR database with TAPSE, sPAP, and parameters required to calculate eGFR were included. Logistic regression and Cox regression analysis were performed to evaluate TAPSE/sPAP as a risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and overall survival. RESULTS A total of 2,370 patients with SSc were included; 284 (12%) patients had CKD stage 3a-5. TAPSE/sPAP (odds ratio [OR] 0.479; 95% CI 0.310-0.743; P < 0.001), arterial hypertension (OR 3.118; 95% CI 2.173-4.475; P < 0.001), diastolic dysfunction (OR 1.670; 95% CI 1.148-2.428; P < 0.01), and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (OR 1.165; 95% CI 1.041-1.304; P < 0.01) were associated with CKD stage 3a-5. TAPSE/sPAP ≤0.32 mm/mm Hg (hazard ratio [HR] 3.589; 95% CI 2.236-5.761; P < 0.001), eGFR <60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 (HR 2.818; 95% CI 1.777-4.468; P < 0.001), and age (HR 1.782; 95% CI 1.348-2.356; P < 0.001) were the most significant predictive factors for all-cause mortality. A total of 276 patients with SSc had pulmonary hypertension (PH) confirmed by right heart catheterization, with 69 (25%) having CKD stage 3a-5. No difference was found in eGFR between patients with PH with reduced or normal cardiac index. CONCLUSION Reduced TAPSE/sPAP ratio is independently associated with CKD. TAPSE/sPAP ratio ≤0.32 mm/mm Hg and eGFR <60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 are prognostic factors for all-cause mortality. In patients with SSc with PH, eGFR is independent by reduced cardiac output.

Abstract
Background Cardiac valve calcification (CVC) is highly prevalent and a risk factor for adverse outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This meta-analysis aimed to investigate the risk factors for CVC and association between CVC and mortality in CKD patients. Method Three electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science were searched for relevant studies up to November 2022. Hazard ratios (HR), odds ratios (OR), and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were pooled using random-effect meta-analyses. Results 22 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Pooled analyses showed that CKD patients with CVC were relatively older, had a higher body mass index, left atrial dimension, C-reaction protein level, and a declined ejection fraction. Calcium and phosphate metabolism dysfunction, diabetes, coronary heart disease, and duration of dialysis were all predictors for CVC in CKD patients. The presence of CVC (both aortic valve and mitral valve) increased the risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in CKD patients. However, the prognostic value of CVC for mortality was not significant anymore in patients with peritoneal dialysis. Conclusion CKD patients with CVC had a greater risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Multiple associated factors for development of CVC in CKD patients should be taken into consideration by healthcare professionals to improve prognosis.

Abstract
Arterial hypertension represents an important risk factor for the development of cardiac, vascular and renal events, predisposing to heart failure, acute coronary syndromes, peripheral artery disease, stroke, and chronic renal disease. Arterial hypertension leads to the development of subclinical hypertension mediated organ damage (HMOD) which has prognostic relevance and may influence the choice of treatment options. Alterations of cardiac structure and function represent the more widely assessed form of HMOD. This manuscript will focus on the diagnostic opportunities, prognostic significance and treatment of diastolic dysfunction alterations.
