Key result
Left ventricular hypertrophy and prolonged hemodialysis treatment (34 vs 17 months, p<0.05) were associated with severe ventricular arrhythmias in chronic renal failure patients.

May flag higher arrhythmia risk in hemodialysis patients with LVH; leaves open causality and need for prospective validation.

Does left ventricular hypertrophy increase the risk of ventricular arrhythmias in chronic hemodialysis patients?
Left ventricular hypertrophy and prolonged hemodialysis duration are significant risk factors for severe ventricular arrhythmias in patients with chronic renal failure.
Saragoça et al. (1991) conducted an observational in Chronic renal failure on hemodialysis (n=81). Left ventricular hypertrophy was evaluated on Ventricular arrhythmias. Left ventricular hypertrophy and prolonged hemodialysis treatment (34 vs 17 months, p<0.05) were associated with severe ventricular arrhythmias in chronic renal failure patients.
