Key result
Two-dimensional echocardiographic methods provide a more reliable assessment of left ventricular mass than 1-dimensional methods in hemodialysis patients experiencing large fluid fluctuations.
Why the study?
Does 2-dimensional echocardiography improve the reliability of left ventricular mass assessment compared to 1-dimensional methods in hemodialysis patients?
Does 2-dimensional echocardiography improve the reliability of left ventricular mass assessment compared to 1-dimensional methods in hemodialysis patients?
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
2D echocardiography may offer a more reliable assessment of left ventricular mass than 1D methods in hemodialysis patients who undergo significant fluid shifts.
Huang et al. (2020) conducted an editorial in End-stage kidney disease on hemodialysis. 2-dimensional (2D) echocardiography vs. 1-dimensional (1D) echocardiography was evaluated. Two-dimensional echocardiographic methods provide a more reliable assessment of left ventricular mass than 1-dimensional methods in hemodialysis patients experiencing large fluid fluctuations.
