Multidisciplinary approach to patients with heart failure and kidney disease : preliminary experience of an integrated cardiorenal unit

Background: Cardiorenal programs have emerged to improve the management of cardiorenal disease (CRD). Evidence about the benefits of these programs is still scarce. This work aims to evaluate the performance of a novel cardiorenal program and describe the clinical profile and outcomes of patients with CRD.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study of patients with CRD attended in a cardiorenal unit (CRU) from February 2021 to February 2022. Demographics and laboratory tests were collected and events (all-cause death and cardiovascular hospitalizations) were evaluated. Optimization of comorbidities and protective therapies was also assessed.
Results: Eighty-two patients were included, with a mean age of 76.8 years [standard deviation (SD) 8.5] and 72% were men. A total of 58.5% (n = 47) had left ventricular ejection fraction <50%. The mean follow-up was 11 months (SD 4.0). Almost 54% of the patients (n = 44) required hospitalization, 30.5% for heart failure (HF) decompensation. Total hospitalizations significantly decreased after CRU inclusion: 0.70 versus 0.45 admissions/year (P < .02). Global mortality was 17.1% (n = 14). The percentage of patients with HF with reduced ejection fraction on quadruple therapy increased by 20%, and up to 60% of the patients were on three drugs. A total of 39% of the patients with HF and preserved ejection fraction started treatment with sodium-glucose co-transporter inhibitors. Hyperkalaemia required the use of potassium binders in 12.2% of the patients and treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism was started in 42.7% and renal anaemia in 23.2%. Renal replacement therapy was initiated in 10% of the patients (n = 8).
Conclusion: CRD confers a considerable risk of adverse outcomes. Cardiorenal programs may improve cardiorenal syndrome management by optimizing therapies, treating comorbidities and reducing hospitalizations.
