Why the study?
Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and LV systolic dysfunction are prevalent in CKD, but their prognostic relevance and comparative effects on mortality remain debatable.
Do left ventricular diastolic and systolic dysfunction independently predict all-cause mortality in chronic kidney disease patients on haemodialysis?
Do left ventricular diastolic and systolic dysfunction independently predict all-cause mortality in chronic kidney disease patients on haemodialysis?
Moderate-severe LVDD and LVSD are independently associated with a higher probability of death in haemodialysis patients, with comparable impacts on survival.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May refine mortality risk stratification in hemodialysis; leaves open whether targeting LV dysfunction improves outcomes.
Lima et al. (2021) studied this question.
