Abstract

17 patients on maintenance hemodialysis were monitored for cardiac arrhythmias by ambulatory electrocardiographic recording. Only 3 patients had ventricular premature beats of potentially dangerous grades. Two of these cases were overdigitalized and two had severe cardiac disease (amyloid, old myocardial infarction).
