Why the study?
Does hemodialysis alter left ventricular hemodynamics and diastolic filling in patients with end-stage renal disease?
Does hemodialysis alter left ventricular hemodynamics and diastolic filling in patients with end-stage renal disease?
Hemodialysis significantly alters left ventricular loading conditions, leading to marked changes in diastolic filling parameters and hemodynamics as assessed by Doppler echocardiography.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
These acute changes may confound echo interpretation of diastolic function; leaves open effects on outcomes in ESRD.
Hung et al. (2004) studied this question.
