Follow-up
3 years
Key result
Long-term peritoneal dialysis was associated with stable left ventricular structure and systolic function, but a progressive decline in diastolic function over 3 years (e' velocity decreased from 9.42 to 7.47 cm/s, p<0.001).

Does long-term peritoneal dialysis affect left ventricular structure and function in ESRD patients?
p-value: p=<0.001
In long-term peritoneal dialysis patients, left ventricular structure and systolic function remain stable over 3 years, while diastolic function progressively declines.
Shi et al. (2017) conducted an observational in End-stage renal disease on peritoneal dialysis (n=40). Long-term peritoneal dialysis vs. Baseline (0 months) was evaluated on Changes in left ventricular diastolic function (e' velocity) over 3 years (p=<0.001). Long-term peritoneal dialysis was associated with stable left ventricular structure and systolic function, but a progressive decline in diastolic function over 3 years (e' velocity decreased from 9.42 to 7.47 cm/s, p<0.001).
