Description
The cardiorenal program (CRP), implemented within a specialized heart failure and kidney disease clinic, encompasses a multidisciplinary approach to the management of patients with heart failure and kidney disease. It focuses on optimizing therapy and improving patient outcomes. The CRP includes a range of services, including clinical evaluation, diagnostic testing, medical treatment, and patient education. The program provides comprehensive care for patients with cardiorenal syndrome, and includes a variety of healthcare professionals, such as cardiologists, nephrologists, pharmacists, and nurses, working together to provide the best possible care. The program also incorporates specific performance indicators to continuously evaluate and improve patient outcomes. The CRP's integrated multidisciplinary care and patient-centered approach is promising for the management of patients with cardiorenal syndrome. (c) 2025 Sociedade Portuguesa de Cardiologia.
