As soon, however, as the ...

Cardio-Spasm of the Œsophagus

The cardio-renal anemia syndrome.

Congestive heart failure, chronic kidney insufficiency and anemia are often present in the same patient. We have coined this triad the cardio-renal anemia syndrome. We suggest that congestive heart failure can often cause chronic renal failure, with both diseases producing anemia. The anemia exacerbates the chronic heart failure, which then worsens the chronic renal failure, causing further ane...

Cochrane evidence responds to this challenge by identifying, appraising, integrating and synthesizing high-quality evidence. Recently, a collaborative effort has been initiated in Iran with Cochrane to establish a representati...
