Parameters of Systolic and Diastolic Dysfunction in Patients with Intradialytic Hypertension.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Intradialytic hypertension (IH) is associated with elevated ambulatory blood pressure (BP), volume overload, and endothelial dysfunction, which may contribute to its increased morbidity/mortality. There is a paucity of data on cardiac structural and functional abnormalities in IH patients.

Methods

In a cross-sectional analysis among 83 Veterans on maintenance hemodialysis with transthoracic echocardiograms (TTEs), we analyzed all intradialytic BP measurements from 3 treatments before and 3 treatments after the TTE and defined IH as an intradialytic BP slope >0 mm Hg/min averaged over these treatments. We compared systolic and diastolic dysfunction prevalence, ejection fraction (EF), left ventricular mass index (LVMI), left atrial volume index (LAVI), and early t
