High MAC incidence in CAPD merits echocardiographic attention in older or hypertensive patients; leaves open independent effects of dialysis duration versus comorbidities.
Cohort (n=135)
CAPD patients have a high incidence of mitral annular calcification, which appears related to older age, higher systolic blood pressure, left ventricular hypertrophy, and duration of CAPD rather than classical risk factors like severe hyperparathyroidism.
Fernández‐Reyes et al. (1995) conducted a cohort in Chronic renal failure requiring CAPD with a low degree of hyperparathyroidism (n=135). Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) was evaluated on De-novo appearance of mitral annular calcification (MAC). Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis was associated with a high incidence of mitral annular calcification, with 17 of 76 patients (22.4%) developing de-novo MAC during follow-up.
