Recurrent heart failure marks high mortality in dialysis patients; leaves open whether targeted interventions improve survival.
Cohort (n=150)
Absolute Event Rate: 33% vs 80%
Congestive heart failure, dilated cardiomyopathy, and hypertrophic hyperkinetic disease are associated with significantly worse survival in dialysis patients, whereas symptomatic ischemic heart disease did not adversely impact mortality.
Parfrey et al. (2008) conducted a cohort in Congestive heart failure and associated cardiac diseases in dialysis patients (n=150). Recurrent or persistent congestive heart failure vs. Dialysis patients without congestive heart failure was evaluated on 2-year cumulative survival rate. Recurrent or persistent congestive heart failure in dialysis patients was associated with a 33% 2-year survival rate compared to 80% in patients without heart failure.
