Nephrocardiology is the interconnection between nephrology and cardiovascular medicine that extends beyond what we frequently name cardiorenal syndrome. The nine pillars of nephrocardiology are pathophysiology, epidemiology, prevention, diagnosis, prognosis, risk factors, monitoring, therapy and systemic diseases the involve both conditions.
In this session we will discuss the aspects of this emerging field of medicine that are important for dietitians in their day-by-day practice, focusing on fluid management, nutrition considerations, counselling recommendations, and client interventions.
