Key result
Maintenance hemodialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease did not significantly change most left ventricular diastolic function parameters, though E wave deceleration time increased significantly.
Why the study?
Does maintenance hemodialysis alter left ventricular diastolic function in patients with end-stage renal disease?

Comparison
Maintenance hemodialysis via arteriovenous fistula vs Baseline
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
mean 76.14 ± 11.37 days

These findings should not change practice in end-stage renal disease; leaves open the relevance of E wave deceleration time increase.

Absolute Event Rate: 162.8% vs 141.3%
p-value: p=0.002
Maintenance hemodialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease does not significantly alter most left ventricular diastolic or right ventricular functions, but does increase left atrial diameter and E wave deceleration time.
Duran et al. (2010) conducted an observational in End-stage renal disease (n=42). Maintenance hemodialysis via arteriovenous fistula vs. Baseline (before arteriovenous fistula creation and hemodialysis) was evaluated on E wave deceleration time (DT) (p=0.002). Maintenance hemodialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease did not significantly change most left ventricular diastolic function parameters, though E wave deceleration time increased significantly.
