ABSTRACT

The Role of Electrocardiograms for Prediction of Left Ventricular Function and Intradialytic Hypotension in Patients on Hemodialysis

Electrocardiography (ECG) is ubiquitous, cheap, and simple to perform, and it provides an immediately accessible, non-invasive insight into cardiovascular reflexes and health. Cardiac disease is a leading cause of death in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) receiving maintenance hemodialysis (HD). ECGs could provide important insights into cardiac function, allowing for identification of cardiac disease in patients on HD. In this presentation, we will provide an overview of how ECGs can be used to identify left ventricular function and intradialytic hypotension in patients on HD.
