.... Conclusions: VAC obtained from echocardiography is likely to be load-independent and useful as a reliable index for stratifying the risk of cardiovascular diseases in HD patients. Further investigations on larger patient cohorts are needed to further validate our findings. [email protected] 6 02...

... about QoL and its determinants in predialysis patients. We studied the association between QoL and comorbidities, cardiac biomarkers, echocardiography, and mortality in patients with CKD stage 4–5 not on dialysis. Methods: A total of 140 patients enrolled in the Chronic Arterial Disease, Quality of Life...

... flow in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Methods: A total of 45 HD patients were examined at the Juntendo University Hospital. The AVF blood flow was measured using ultrasonography, and the cardiac function was measured using echocardiography. Correlation between these parameters and the rate of change...

... (‘individualised’, HD ind ). Regional systolic function was quantitatively assessed by echocardiography. Haemodynamics were assessed using continuous pulse wave analysis. Thermal symptoms were scored by questionnaire. Results: Mean predialysis body temperature was 36.0 ± 0.1°C. Mean number of peak stress RWMAs per...
