Cardiac remodeling and subclinical myocardial dysfunction in patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing maintenance hemodialysis: a retrospective echocardiographic study

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at heart scans for 120 people on dialysis and 60 healthy controls. It found that people with kidney disease often have heart muscle changes that go beyond just thickening. This shows a link between kidney failure and heart strain, but it is not proof of cause. The data comes from past records, not a new test.
