With aging and expansion of the dialysis population in Taiwan, how to manage elderly dialysis patients has become an important clinical issue. Cardiovascular diseases, including ischemic heart disease, heart failure, and arrhythmia, were the most common causes of death in elderly dialysis patients. However, the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases in elderly dialysis patients is often difficult to make. Many risk factors are known to be associated with cardiovascular diseases. The incidence of cardiovascular diseases may be contained through modification of risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, chronic kidney disease-mineral bone disease, anemia, smoking, and malnutrition. Considering the paucity of high-quality trials, future studies are urgently warranted to clarify the special needs of this vulnerable population.
