Acute LV performance shifts during hemodialysis in ESRD remain hypothesis-generating; larger prospective studies needed before clinical consideration.

Does hemodialysis alter left ventricular performance in patients with end-stage renal disease?
Hemodialysis acutely alters left ventricular performance, with the response being dependent on predialysis left ventricular volume, wall thickness, and contractility.
Madsen et al. (2008) conducted an observational in End-stage renal disease (n=31). Hemodialysis vs. Prior to hemodialysis (baseline) was evaluated on Left ventricular performance (mean heart rate, mean Vcf, mean stroke index, mean cardiac index). A 4-hour hemodialysis session in 31 patients with end-stage renal disease significantly increased mean heart rate and mean velocity of circumferential fiber shortening.
