Abstract
In dialysis patients, both cardiovascular and noncardiovascular
mortality are significantly increased as compared to
general population. In particular cardio-vascular mortality contributes to
40% of all-cause mortality in patients on haemodialysis. We assessed the
(LV) function in 26 patients with ESRD on MHD before and after the HD
set.
Methods: Twenty-six subjects were enrolled in this study on
maintenance HD 3 times per week for 3 hours; 13 with hypertension;6
with diabetes mellitus; 8 with ECG criteria of left ventricular hypertrophy
(LVH). All subjects underwent standard two-dimensional
echocardiography and myocardial strain imaging.
Results: There is a significant reduction of stroke volume, left
ventricular internal diameter in diastole, left ventricular internal diameter
in systole; left ventricular posterior wall thickness in systole, end diastolic
volume, end systolic volume, E wave and E/A ratio and finally
pulmonary artery systolic pressure after HD set [P<0.05]. On the other
hand there are no significant changes in neither interventricular seputm in
both diastole and systole, left ventricular posterior wall thickness in
diastole, fractional shortening, A wave, ejection fraction or left atrial
dimension[P >0.05].Also a significant reduction of GLPS_LAX, global
longitudinal peak systolic strain in long axis view; GLPS_A4C, global
longitudinal peak systolic strain in apical 4 chamber view; GLPS_A2C
global longitudinal peak systolic strain in apical 2 chamber view and
GLPS_AVG, global longitudinal peak systolic strain average after HD set
[P<0.05].
