Sex and the Risk of Atheromatous and Non-Atheromatous Cardiovascular Disease in CKD: Findings From the CKD-REIN Cohort Study
Sex differences in cardiovascular disease (CVD) are well-established, but whether chronic kidney disease (CKD) modifies these risk differences, and whether they differ between atheromatous (ACVD) and non-atheromatous (N-ACVD) CVD is unknown. Assessing this interaction was the principal goal of this study.
