Key result
Potentially dangerous ventricular premature beats were rare (17.6%) in patients on maintenance hemodialysis, occurring mainly during or after dialysis in those with heart disease or digitalization.

Does not support routine arrhythmia monitoring in hemodialysis; leaves open targeted surveillance in those with heart disease or digoxin use.
Observational (n=17)
In patients on maintenance hemodialysis, dangerous ventricular premature beats are rare and primarily associated with preexisting heart disease or digoxin toxicity rather than the dialysis procedure itself.
Blumberg et al. (2008) conducted an observational in Maintenance hemodialysis (n=17). Maintenance hemodialysis was evaluated on Potentially dangerous ventricular premature beats (VPB) of higher grades. Potentially dangerous ventricular premature beats were rare (17.6%) in patients on maintenance hemodialysis, occurring mainly during or after dialysis in those with heart disease or digitalization.
