Discussion

Cross-sectional study finds high rates of cardiac abnormalities in CKD patients on hemodialysis, indicating a need for monitoring.

Echocardiography revealed left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction in a substantial number of dialysis patients.
In 120 patients, 58.3% showed LV hypertrophy while 66.7% exhibited diastolic dysfunction, which are significant indicators of heart health.
Regular hemodialysis over three months was linked to higher rates of hypertension, which correlated with adverse cardiac changes.
This research emphasizes the importance of echocardiographic assessment for cardiovascular risk in kidney disease patients.

Myo et al. (2025) studied this question.
