AVF-induced RV dysfunction may warrant RV assessment in dialysis patients; leaves open causal links and whether RV interventions improve LV outcomes.

Is right ventricular dysfunction associated with impaired left ventricular function in patients undergoing chronic dialysis?
In dialysis patients, arteriovenous fistula-induced right ventricular dysfunction is independently associated with left ventricular dysfunction, highlighting the role of right-to-left ventricular interdependence.
Paneni et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Chronic dialysis (n=220). Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) vs. Peritoneal dialysis and healthy controls was evaluated on Relation between right and left ventricular function (RV MPI and LV function indices). Arteriovenous fistula-induced right ventricular dysfunction was independently associated with reduced left ventricular function in patients undergoing chronic dialysis.
