This article helps to inaugurate NDT's new section, Kidney Diseases beyond Nephrology, by focusing on the convergence of cardiology and nephrology. The clinical themes highlighted by the articles chosen for review include cardiac screening in renal transplant candidates, cardiac troponins in end-stage renal disease patients, contrast nephropathy in coronary angiography and surgical coronary revascularization across the spectrum of renal failure.
