Key result
Left ventricular hypertrophy was highly prevalent (78%) in chronic hemodialysis patients and was significantly associated with systolic hypertension (OR 5.97, p=0.001).
Cross-Sectional (n=130)
No
Odds Ratio: 5.97
p-value: p=0.001
Left ventricular abnormalities are highly prevalent in chronic hemodialysis patients and are independently associated with systolic hypertension, interdialytic weight gain, ischemic heart disease, and older age.
Supports LVH screening in hypertensive hemodialysis patients; observational data leave causal role and intervention effects open.

Takeda et al. (1999) conducted a cross-sectional in Chronic hemodialysis (n=130). Systolic hypertension, interdialytic weight gain, ischemic heart disease, and older age vs. Patients without these risk factors was evaluated on Left ventricular hypertrophy (OR 5.97, p=0.001). Left ventricular hypertrophy was highly prevalent (78%) in chronic hemodialysis patients and was significantly associated with systolic hypertension (OR 5.97, p=0.001).
