Key result
The prevalence of atrial fibrillation in hemodialysis patients was 4.5%, with increased left atrial diameter and left ventricle end-systolic diameter identified as independent predictors.

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
AF prevalence in hemodialysis warrants clinical awareness; leaves open prospective validation of echocardiographic predictors.
Introduction: Atrial fi brillation is the most common type of arrhythmia. The prevalence of atrial : fi brillation is increased in hemodialysis patients. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of atrial fi brillation and related factors including anthropometric, hemodynamic and echocardiographic parameters in hemodialysis patients.

Yıldız et al. (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Hemodialysis (n=154). Left atrial diameter and left ventricle end-systolic diameter vs. Normal echocardiographic parameters was evaluated on Prevalence of atrial fibrillation. The prevalence of atrial fibrillation in hemodialysis patients was 4.5%, with increased left atrial diameter and left ventricle end-systolic diameter identified as independent predictors.
