Echocardiography revealed significant changes in the left ventricle's strain measures after establishing the AVF.
At the fourth week, despite unchanged global longitudinal strain, the E/DT ratio and global circumferential strain showed notable increases.
The study employed a rat model with chronic renal failure and assessed myocardial damage across several time points.
Using advanced echocardiography methods highlights the evolving cardiac impacts of renal failure and arteriovenous fistula.
