Why the study?

Patients with end-stage renal disease have a high burden of cardiovascular disease and mortality, but data on the incidence of atrial fibrillation in this population were needed.

Population

250 adult ESRD patients on regular hemodialysis with no arrhythmia history

Design

Prospective cohort study

Follow-up

6 months

Discussion

Member takes

Implication

May warrant closer AF monitoring in ESRD; observational data leaves optimal screening and intervention effects open.

Structured PICO

Population

250 adult patients with end stage renal diseases on regular hemodialysis sessions in National Institute of Urology and Nephrology in Cairo, Egypt for at least six months with no past history suggestive of any arrhythmias and normal holter ECG at the start of the study. Mean age 54.39, 52.3% male.

Outcome

Incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) in hemodialysis patients for six monthshard clinical

The incidence of atrial fibrillation in hemodialysis patients over a 6-month period is high (16.4%) and is associated with traditional cardiovascular risk factors and left atrial dilation.
