May link uncontrolled hypertension to volume overload and LVH in CAPD; hypothesis-generating for volume-targeted therapies.
Is uncontrolled hypertension associated with volume overload and increased left ventricular mass index in CAPD patients?
Uncontrolled hypertension is highly prevalent in CAPD patients and is associated with volume overload and increased left ventricular mass index.
