Research area: Cardiovascular

Description

The main focus of this group is firstly to investigate mild-moderate Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) as a cardiovascular risk factor in our setting, a Mediterranean region with a low incidence of cardiovascular disease; in addition, we study mild-moderate CKD (prevalence, incidence and evolution) in primary care. The principal objective of the group is to evaluate cardiovascular risk (incidence of cardiovascular events) associated with a decrease of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in primary care patients over 60 years of age. In addition, the group has started a new line of research to evaluate the association between the incidence of cardiovascular events and blood pressure control in hypertensive patients and eGFR, as well as the evolution of mild-moderate CKD in relation to blood pressure control.
