Improvement in "uremic" cardiomyopathy by persistent ultrafiltration

Improvement in "uremic" cardiomyopathy by persistent ultrafiltration

Some patients with end‐stage renal disease suffer severe cardiac dilatation with functional disturbances, notably low ejection fraction (EF) and valvular regurgitation. They often have normal or low blood pressure, and tolerate ultrafiltration (UF) poorly. The aim of our study was to investigate to...

Zusammenfassung:Some patients with end‐stage renal disease suffer severe cardiac dilatation with functional disturbances, notably low ejection fraction (EF) and valvular regurgitation. They often have normal or low blood pressure, and tolerate ultrafiltration (UF) poorly. The aim of our study was to investigate to what extent this condition can still be improved by persistent slow UF. Twelve patients with cardiothoracic index >0.54 and EF
