Why the study?
Does aortic valve calcification predict left ventricular hypertrophy in chronic haemodialysis patients?
Does aortic valve calcification predict left ventricular hypertrophy in chronic haemodialysis patients?
Aortic valve calcification is independently associated with increased left ventricular mass index in chronic hemodialysis patients, likely due to increased resistance to ventricular outflow.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Aortic valve calcification may mark higher LVMI in hemodialysis patients; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before clinical use.
José E. Ventura (2002) studied this question.
