Does the presence of asymptomatic intradialytic supraventricular arrhythmias predict mortality and cardiovascular events in patients on hemodialysis?
Asymptomatic intradialytic supraventricular arrhythmias are common in hemodialysis patients and are independently associated with a significantly increased risk of mortality, nonfatal cardiovascular events, and symptomatic atrial fibrillation.
Verde et al. (2016) studied this question.
