“…The main manifestations of heart disease in CKD include left ventricular hypertrophy, acute and chronic heart failure, and coronary artery disease. However, LVF is the most serious pathological change and is an important risk factor for a series of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events [ 4 , 12 ]. Multiple studies have shown that LVF is an important predictor of CVD death in dialysis patients [ 13 ].…”

Background. This study sets out to investigate the incidence of acute left ventricular failure in peritoneal dialysis patients with different volume loads and to analyze the related risk factors for LVF in these patients. Methods. This study involved patients who received peritoneal dialysis in our hospital between September 2018 and January 2021. The demographic data and biochemical indicators of the patients were collected. The bioimpedance analysis method was used to determine the volume overload [overhydration (OH)] level of patients, and cardiac color Doppler ultrasound was used to detect changes in their cardiac structure. According to the LVF diagnostic criteria of symptoms and laboratory tests, the patients were divided into the LVF and non-LVF groups and then divided according to their OH level into the normal volume (OH ≤1.1 L) and volume overload (OH >1.1 L) groups. The incidence of LVF in was analyzed in patients with different volume loads, and logistic regression was used to identify the risk factors for LVF. Results. Among the 226 peritoneal dialysis patients enrolled in this study, 125 patients (55.3%) had LVF. The normal volume group ( n = 68 , 30.1%) included 22 patients (32.4%) with LVF, and the volume overload group ( n = 158 , 69.9%) included 84 patients (53.2%) with LVF. In the volume overload group, 74 patients (46.8%) had subclinical volume overload, including 35 patients (47.3%) with LVF, and 84 patients (53.2%) had clinical volume overload, including 65 patients (77.4%) LVF. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed a high OH level ( OR = 1.862 , 95% CI: 1.353–2.668, P < 0.001 ) and low hemoglobin level ( OR = 0.845 , 95% CI: 0.721–0.980, P = 0.008 ) to be independent risk factors for LVF. Conclusions. LVF has a high incidence in peritoneal dialysis patients, especially those with volume overload. A high OH level and low hemoglobin level are independent risk factors for LVF.
