May aid risk stratification in HD patients; leaves open whether HRV modification improves outcomes in prospective trials.
What are the predictors of haemodynamic instability and heart rate variability changes during haemodialysis in chronic haemodialysis patients?
Ischaemic heart disease, left ventricular systolic dysfunction, and reduced heart rate variability are strong predictors of haemodynamic instability during haemodialysis.
Rubinger et al. (2004) studied this question.
