Progressive alterations of left atrial and ventricular volume and strain across chronic kidney disease stages: a speckle tracking echocardiography study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It has been a scarcity of evidence regarding differences in left ventricular (LV) and left atrial (LA) size and strain changes across stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and which echocardiographic parameters could be utilized to predict the decline of glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

Objectives

This study aimed to evaluate the alterations of LV and LA strain across the reduction of renal function and potential echocardiographic parameters which could be correlated with the GFR decline among patients with CKD.

Method

A cross-sectional study was conducted on 169 CKD patients at Bach Mai General Hospital, Hanoi, Vietnam from April to November 2022. Demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients were collected. Transthoracic echocardiogra
