Atrial fibrillation, diabetes, hyperkalaemia, haemodialysis mode, and elevated C-reactive protein are key risk factors for sudden death in chronic haemodialysis patients.
Our data show that the incidence of sudden death in haemodialysis patients is high and that atrial fibrillation, diabetes, hyperkalaemia, haemodialysis mode and C-reactive protein play an important role in developing fatal arrhythmia. Further studies will be necessary to define which interventions could be helpful in reducing this cause of mortality.
