The role of myocardial perfusion SPECT in short-term cardiac prognosis of end-stage renal disease
Introduction: One of the most important causes of death in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and even after kidney transplantation is cardiovascular diseases. Thus, cardiac evaluation is of utmost importance in the management of these patients especially during preoperative work up before renal transplantation. The aim of present study is to evaluate the role of myoc...
متن کاملCardiac function in end-stage renal disease.
To assess cardiac status in end-stage renal disease, we compared clinical, ECG, and echocardiographic data from 37 patients on maintenance hemodialysis with data from 42 patients with functioning renal transplants. Cardiovascular symptoms and abnormal cardiovascular findings were more common in dialysis-maintained patients than in those with transplants. Follow-up studies indicated that despite...
متن کاملCardiac Biomarkers in End-Stage Renal Disease
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) often suffer from cardiovascular complications and comorbidities. For example, 55% of ESRD patients suffer from congestive heart failure (CHF) and cardiovascular diseases account for the majority of deaths among ESRD patients (Herzog, Ma, & Collins, 1998; National Institutes of Health; National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases;...
متن کاملCentral pulse pressure and mortality in end-stage renal disease.
Damage of large arteries is a major factor in the high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality of patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Increased aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) and brachial pulse pressure (PP) are the principal arterial markers of cardiovascular mortality described in these patients. Whether central (carotid) PP and brachial-carotid PP amplification may predict all-cau...
متن کاملDiagnosis of cardiac disease in pediatric end-stage renal disease.
BACKGROUND Cardiac disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This study aimed to report the frequency of cardiac disease diagnostic methods used in US pediatric maintenance hemodialysis patients. METHODS A cross-sectional analysis of all US pediatric (ages 0.7-18 years, n = 656) maintenance hemodialysis patients was performed us...
