This cross-sectional study suggests that salt restriction and reduced prescription of antihypertensive drugs may limit LV hypertrophy, better preserve LV functions and reduce intradialytic hypotension in HD patients.

VMEs into the PA and Ao beyond the VAJ are relatively common. It seems that their mere presence does not predispose to OT VTs. There are probably intrinsic arrhythmogenic properties in tissues specific to these regions in those patients who develop OT VTs.

FO defined by m-BIA is significantly correlated with markers of malnutrition, inflammation and atherosclerosis in PD patients. The indices obtained from m-BIA, especially ECW/height, correlated well with volume overload as assessed by echocardiography and might be a measure worth testing in a properly designed clinical study.
