MO092: Prevalence and Renal Prognosis of Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Nondialysis Chronic Kidney Disease Patients With Preserved Systolic Function
Abstract:BACKGROUND AND AIMS
Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is common in nondialysis chronic kidney disease (ND-CKD) patients; however, the prevalence estimated according to the new diagnostic criteria as well as the prognostic role of diastolic dysfunction on CKD progression remain unknown.
METHOD
We longitudinally evaluated consecutive ND-CKD patients and preserved systolic function (LV ejection fraction > 50%). … Show more
