Why the study?
Does vascular access typology affect right ventricular diastolic function and TAPSE during a single hemodialysis session in chronically uremic patients?
Population
20 chronically uremic patients without overt heart disease, age 51 ± 10 years, dialytic age 24 ± 8 months…
Comparison
A single mid-week hemodialysis (HD) session vs Baseline and between vascular access types
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
15 min after ending a single hemodialysis session

May warrant RV monitoring in AVF users; leaves open whether access type causally affects RV function.
Does vascular access typology affect right ventricular diastolic function and TAPSE during a single hemodialysis session in chronically uremic patients?
Arteriovenous fistulas in hemodialysis patients may increase preload and contribute to right ventricular dilation and impaired diastolic function compared to central venous catheters.
Lullo et al. (2010) studied this question.
