TCTAP A-098 Assessment of Left Ventricular Filling Pressure and Its Correlation with Severity of Chronic Kidney Disease

Background Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in chronic renal failure patients. [...]even a small increase in preload can result in significantly raised left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, thereby causing pulmonary edema even with normal LV systolic function. Increased le...

Description
Summary:Background Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in chronic renal failure patients. [...]even a small increase in preload can result in significantly raised left ventricular end-diastolic pressure, thereby causing pulmonary edema even with normal LV systolic function. Increased left ventricular filling pressure is the important cause of increased cardiovascular mortality and diastolic heart failure (HFpEF) in Chronic kidney disease population. In chronic kidney disease, patients not only the fluid overload state but also...
