“…Ischemic heart disease, LV hypertrophy, cardiac failure, disturbed myocardial ultrastructure and function, increased sympathetic activity and fast electrolyte shifts during HD all contribute significantly to the appearance of sudden cardiac death in these patients (6,17). The average annual cardiovascular mortality rate in HD patients in this study of 8.51% is similar to the 9% reported by other authors (17,18). Increased CRP, cTnT, cTnI and LVMi were identified as independent risk factors for cardiovascular mortality in our study group.…”

“…Cardiovascular disease represents the leading cause of mortality in HD patients (12)(13)(14)(15). Several risk factors, such as anemia, hypertension, volume overload, shunt blood flow, oxidative stress, microinflammation, hypoalbuminemia, hyperhomocysteinemia and hyperphosphatemia have been identified as cardiovascular risk factors in the HD population (16)(17)(18)(19)(20).…”
