Why the study?
Does acute preload reduction by hemodialysis alter conventional and novel echocardiographic parameters of left ventricular structure and function in patients on regular hemodialysis?

Pulsed-wave tissue Doppler echocardiography (PW-TDE) diastolic indices appear less load-dependent than standard Doppler parameters, making it a promising method for assessing LV diastolic function in hemodialysis patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
HD alters conventional but not PW-TDE diastolic parameters; leaves open PW-TDE as load-independent diastolic assessment in these patients.
Paleček et al. (2007) studied this question.
