Effects of acute intradialytic exercise on cardiovascular responses in hemodialysis patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In patients with kidney failure requiring hemodialysis (HD) treatment, intradialytic exercise (IDEX) has been advocated for its feasibility and effectiveness in improving important health outcomes. However, IDEX as an adjunct therapeutic strategy is infrequently implemented, in part due to potential risks of IDEX, especially in patients with chronic volume overload. This study was performed to evaluate the safety of IDEX performed at different time points by examining its effect on intradialytic cardiovascular hemodynamics.

Methods

In a randomized cross-over study (n = 12), intradialytic changes in brachial, aortic, and cardiac hemodynamics and autonomic function were examined during a HD session; (1) without exercise; (2) with 30 min of IDEX performed in the firs
