Sudden cardiac death is the main reason for the increased cardiovascular mortality in this patient population. Our current understanding suggests that patients with CKD are vulnerable patients and that the increased risk of these patients is determined by the 3 components of the vulnerable blood, the vulnerable vessel and the vulnerable myocardium. The following review discusses the different pathophysiological aspects of the vulnerable patient with CKD and elucidates therapeutic options to reduce the risk for sudden cardiac death in this patient population.
