Arrhythmia and Heart Rate Variability during Long Interdialytic Periods in Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis: Prospective Observational Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Sudden cardiac death among hemodialysis patients is related to the hemodialysis schedule. Mortality is highest within 12 h before and after the first hemodialysis sessions of a week. We investigated the association of arrhythmia occurrence and heart rate variability (HRV) using an electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring patch during the long interdialytic interval in hemodialysis patients. This was a prospective observational study with 55 participants on maintenance hemodialysis for at least six months. A patch-type ECG monitoring device was applied to record arrhythmia events and HRV during 72 h of a long interdialytic period. Forty-nine participants with sufficient ECG data out of 55 participants were suitable for the analysis. The incidence of supraventricular tachycardia and ventricular ta
