Key result
Long-term hemodialysis over a mean of 24.2 months did not significantly change left and right ventricular functions in 22 patients with end-stage renal disease.

Does long-term hemodialysis treatment impair left and right ventricular functions in patients with end-stage renal disease?
Long-term hemodialysis over approximately 2 years does not significantly impair left or right ventricular function in patients with end-stage renal disease.
Duran et al. (2011) conducted a cohort in end-stage renal disease (n=22). Long-term hemodialysis vs. Baseline (before hemodialysis) was evaluated on Left and right ventricular functions. Long-term hemodialysis over a mean of 24.2 months did not significantly change left and right ventricular functions in 22 patients with end-stage renal disease.
