    FIBRILACIÓN AURICULAR Y ENFERMEDAD RENAL CRÓNICA: INTERACCIÓN Y RELEVANCIA CLÍNICA
    (2025-06-13) Gavilanes Lisintuña, Madison Nohe; Laguapillo Vergara, Alexandra del Rocio; Universidad Técnica de Ambato / Facultad de Ciencias de Salud / Carrera de Medicina
    Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by prolonged alterations in renal structure or function, with severe implications such as hypertension, cardiac and neurological diseases. Atrial fibrillation (AF), a cardiac arrhythmia, shows a complex relationship with CKD: the presence of CKD increases the risk of developing AF, and vice versa. Several factors, such as inflammation, the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, anemia, and electrolyte disturbances contribute to this relationship. Both conditions also increase the risk of stroke and mortality. Proper management involves considering the complexity of these connections to reduce the associated risks and improve patient prognosis.
