Key result
Hemodialysis patients had significantly lower right ventricular systolic indices, including right ventricle fractional area change (37.54% vs 43.5%), compared to healthy controls.

Patients with end-stage renal disease on regular hemodialysis exhibit subclinical right ventricular dysfunction and higher systolic pulmonary pressure compared to healthy controls.
Momtaz et al. (2013) conducted an observational in End-stage renal disease (n=74). Hemodialysis vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Right ventricle fractional area change (RVFAC) (p=<0.001). Hemodialysis patients had significantly lower right ventricular systolic indices, including right ventricle fractional area change (37.54% vs 43.5%), compared to healthy controls.
