Conclusions:The presence of Cardiovascular disease is related to dialysis dose. Sub-optimal dialysis is associated with CVD. Many echocardiographic parameters were related to the dose of dialysis. Patients with a lower Kt/V had higher LAVI and PASP. There was also an increased presence of diastolic dysfunction in patients with lower Kt/V. Thus, clearance during dialysis can influence cardiac clinical and echocardiographic parameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
