Key result
Hypervolemia and anemia are linked to adverse LV geometric remodeling in CAPD patients.
Why the study?
Changes in left ventricular geometry are frequent in CAPD patients and have adverse prognosis, but independent risk factors contributing to LV geometric remodelling are not well defined.
Observational (n=69)
Effect estimate: R2 = 0.36
p-value: p=<0.001
Echocardiographic assessment of inferior vena cava diameter and collapsibility index can identify hypervolemia, which along with anemia, independently predicts left ventricular geometric remodeling in CAPD patients.

Hypervolemia and anemia associate with LV geometry patterns in CAPD; leaves open whether correction alters remodeling or outcomes.
A. Toprak (2003) conducted an observational in Continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) (n=69). Hypervolaemia (IVC index and collapsibility index) and anaemia was evaluated on Predictors of left ventricular geometric stratification (R2 = 0.36, p=<0.001). Hypervolaemia (identified by IVC index and collapsibility index) and anaemia were independent predictors of left ventricular geometric stratification in CAPD patients (R2 = 0.36, P < 0.001).
