Key result
Patients on maintenance hemodialysis with left ventricular hypertrophy exhibited significantly lower early diastolic excursion of the mitral ring compared to those without hypertrophy (0.77 cm vs 1.00 cm, p<0.05), indicating severe diastolic dysfunction.
Why the study?
Does long-axis M-mode echocardiography improve the detection of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients on maintenance hemodialysis compared to conventional echocardiography?
Cross-Sectional (n=52)
No
Does long-axis M-mode echocardiography improve the detection of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients on maintenance hemodialysis compared to conventional echocardiography?
Long-axis M-mode echocardiography can detect early left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in hemodialysis patients, differentiating those with and without left ventricular hypertrophy even when conventional Doppler indices appear similar.
May aid diastolic assessment in hemodialysis patients; leaves open superiority over conventional echocardiography.

Sugihara et al. (1998) conducted a cross-sectional in Maintenance hemodialysis (n=52). Left ventricular hypertrophy in maintenance hemodialysis vs. Maintenance hemodialysis without left ventricular hypertrophy was evaluated on Early diastolic component of total excursion of the long-axis motion of the mitral ring (ELAM) (p=<0.05). Patients on maintenance hemodialysis with left ventricular hypertrophy exhibited significantly lower early diastolic excursion of the mitral ring compared to those without hypertrophy (0.77 cm vs 1.00 cm, p<0.05), indicating severe diastolic dysfunction.
