May support cardiac monitoring in chronic glomerulonephritis; hypothesis-generating for renocardiac interactions and outcomes.
Does chronic glomerulonephritis with mildly to moderately impaired renal function affect cardiac morphology and function compared to healthy controls?
Patients with chronic glomerulonephritis and mildly to moderately impaired renal function exhibit early signs of cardiac dysfunction and increased LV mass independent of blood pressure and GFR.
Schroeder et al. (1997) studied this question.
