Cardiorenal multimorbidity, the coexistence of cardiovascular and renal diseases, is a significant clinical challenge with significant implications for patient outcomes. Understanding the prevalence, risk factors and clinical characteristics of cardiorenal multimorbidity is essential for improving the management and care of these patients. The Hellenic Cardio renal Morbidity Snapshot study aimed to provide a comprehensive evaluation of cardiorenal multimorbidity in hospitalized cardiology patients in Greece. This article discusses the objectives, methodology, key findings and implications of the HECMOS study.
