Cardiac consequences of hypertension in hemodialysis patients

Abstract

Hypertension in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is an important risk factor for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), cardiac failure, coronary artery disease (CAD), and arrhythmia. LVH is generally considered an integrator of the long-term effects of hypertension and other cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and represents the strongest predictor of adverse CV outcomes in ESRD patients. The risk of heart failure is higher in patients with a history of hypertensive renal disease than in those with other diagnoses. Both coronary heart disease (CHD) and LVH predict congestive heart failure, which is often the ultimate cause of death in patients with cardiac ischemia or LVH. A history of long-standing hypertension is associated with ischemic heart disease both in cross-sectional and prospective studies in ESRD. Atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmias are highly prevalent in dialysis patients and are implicated in mortality and sudden death in this population. Despite the lack of evidence from randomized controlled trials, it appears reasonable that interventions aimed at curbing the high CV mortality of ESRD should be targeted to both hypertension and LVH.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.
