Intradialytic myocardial stunning merits clinical vigilance in hemodialysis; review leaves open whether targeted interventions improve outcomes.
This review summarizes the evidence on intradialytic myocardial stunning as a potential mechanism for the high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis patients.
Charytan et al. (2026) conducted a review in Hemodialysis-dependent end-stage kidney disease. Intradialytic myocardial stunning was evaluated. This review outlines the evidence base for intradialytic myocardial stunning as a specific form of stress cardiomyopathy and an underappreciated cardiovascular risk factor in hemodialysis patients.
