Ambulatory BP monitoring, especially nocturnal, may aid LVH risk stratification in hemodialysis; leaves open whether targeting BP modifies hypertrophy.
Is interdialytic ambulatory blood pressure associated with left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive hemodialysis patients?
In hypertensive hemodialysis patients, both interdialytic ambulatory blood pressure and volume expansion are independently associated with severe left ventricular hypertrophy.
MOMINADAM et al. (2008) studied this question.
