May refine CV risk prediction in incident hemodialysis; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Does relative T-wave residuum on ECG predict cardiovascular and arrhythmia-related mortality in adult ESRD patients initiating haemodialysis?
Relative T-wave residuum on ECG is an independent predictor of cardiovascular and arrhythmia-related mortality in patients initiating hemodialysis.
