Key result
AVF creation is linked to rapid early increases in LV global longitudinal strain and mass.
Why the study?
Does arteriovenous fistula creation alter early postoperative left ventricular myocardial work and strain echocardiographic findings in patients with advanced chronic renal failure?
Population
47 patients with advanced stage chronic renal failure who applied for arteriovenous fistula opening
Comparison
Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation vs Preoperative baseline
Design
Cross-sectional
Follow-up
4-6 weeks after discharge

Arteriovenous fistula creation induces rapid cardiac remodeling and changes in myocardial work parameters within 24 hours, challenging the belief that these changes only occur long-term.

Arteriovenous fistula creation induces rapid cardiac remodeling and changes in myocardial work parameters within 24 hours, challenging the belief that these changes only occur long-term.
Arslanhan et al. (2025) conducted a cross-sectional in Advanced stage chronic renal failure (n=47). Arteriovenous fistula formation vs. Preoperative baseline was evaluated on Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) (p=<0.001). Arteriovenous fistula formation was associated with early significant increases in left ventricular global longitudinal strain (P<0.001) and LV mass (P<0.001) within 24 hours of surgery.
