Implication

Prevalent subclinical RV dysfunction warrants clinical awareness in predialysis ESRD; leaves open its prognostic value and management implications.

Structured PICO

Is subclinical right ventricular dysfunction detectable by tissue Doppler imaging in predialysis end-stage renal disease patients compared to healthy controls?

P
Population
41 patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) before starting dialysis therapy, and 12 age and gender matched healthy controls (total n=53).
I
Intervention
Echocardiography including pulsed tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) of lateral tricuspid annulus to assess myocardial performance index of RV (MPI-RV).
C
Comparator
Age and gender matched healthy controls.
O
Outcome
Right ventricular function assessed by tissue Doppler imaging derived myocardial performance index of RV (MPI-RV).surrogate

Subclinical right ventricular dysfunction, assessed by tissue Doppler imaging, is highly prevalent in end-stage renal disease patients before starting dialysis and is not significantly associated with pulmonary hypertension.
