Hypothesis-generating for demand ischemia as arrhythmia trigger in hemodialysis; should not yet change monitoring or management.
Does hemodialysis-induced regional wall motion abnormality increase the frequency of ventricular arrhythmias in established hemodialysis patients?
Hemodialysis induces regional wall motion abnormalities that are significantly associated with an increased frequency of premature ventricular complexes, suggesting demand ischemia as a mechanism for arrhythmias in this population.
Burton et al. (2008) studied this question.
