Key result
In patients receiving renal replacement therapy, worsening exercise tolerance was strongly associated with an increasing proportion of cardiac abnormalities (p<0.001).

Is diminished exercise tolerance in patients receiving renal replacement therapy associated with cardiac abnormalities?
p-value: p=<0.001
Bullock et al. (1984) conducted an observational in Renal replacement therapy (n=100). Renal replacement therapy vs. Normal subjects was evaluated on Proportion of cardiac abnormalities across groups of decreasing exercise tolerance (p=<0.001). In patients receiving renal replacement therapy, worsening exercise tolerance was strongly associated with an increasing proportion of cardiac abnormalities (p<0.001).
