Echocardiographic Indices in Patients with End-Stage Renal Disease and Their Association with Hemodialysis-to-Hemodiafiltration Transfer: A Prospective Observational Study.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: The assessment of cardiac function in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is vital due to their high cardiovascular risk. However, contemporary echocardiographic indices and their association with hemodialysis-to-hemodiafiltration transfer are underreported in this population. Materials and Methods: This prospective cohort study enrolled 36 ESRD patients undergoing hemodialysis-to-hemodiafiltration transfer, with baseline and 3-month post-transfer comprehensive echocardiographic assessments. The key parameters included the global work index, global constructed work, global wasted work (GWW), global work efficiency (GWE), and global longitudinal strain (GLS), with secondary measures from conventional echocardiography. The baseline measures w
