Chronic renal failure from lead: myth or evidence-based fact?

abstract：:Chronic kidney disease (CKD) promotes development of cardiac abnormalities and is highly prevalent in patients with heart failure, particularly in those with preserved ejection fraction. CKD is associated with endothelial dysfunction, however, whether CKD can induce impairment of endothelium-to-cardiomyocyte crosstalk...
