Why the study?
Does fluid volume variation during hemodialysis alter the calculated value of left ventricular mass measured by echocardiogram in patients with chronic renal insufficiency?
Does fluid volume variation during hemodialysis alter the calculated value of left ventricular mass measured by echocardiogram in patients with chronic renal insufficiency?
Variations in echocardiographic measurements of left ventricular mass related to hemodialysis are induced by alterations in fluid volume, highlighting the need to account for volume status when assessing ventricular hypertrophy in renal patients.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Echocardiographic LVM assessment in HD patients requires volume status standardization; leaves open whether UF alters true hypertrophy or only measurement.
Martín et al. (2003) studied this question.
