Aortic Stiffness, Left Ventricle Hypertrophy, and Homogeneity of Ventricle Repolarization in Adult Dialyzed Patients

Aim. Study was designed to assess relationship between aortic compliance and homogeneity of heart electrical activity in dialysis patients. Methods. Study group was consisted of 120 dialyzed patients; 57 (age 50,7±7,1) were on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and 73 (age 51,6±7,6) we...

Description
Summary:Aim. Study was designed to assess relationship between aortic compliance and homogeneity of heart electrical activity in dialysis patients. Methods. Study group was consisted of 120 dialyzed patients; 57 (age 50,7±7,1) were on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) and 73 (age 51,6±7,6) were hemodialyzed (HD). Three-dimensional vectorocardiographic (VCG) monitoring was done to assess: QRS-Tangle, Tel and Taz. Echocardiography was performed to assess: Aomax, Aomin, ASI (aortic siffness index). Results. ASI in HD as well as in CAPD patients was significantly higher compared to controls [resp., 5,51 (±1,32), 5,83 (±1,41), 3,07 (±1,09)]. Cut-off value of ASI was 5,67. In HD patients strong correlations between ASI and QRS-Tangle, Tel and Taz were determined (resp., r=0,429, P
