Increased left ventricular (LV) mass in children with chronic renal insufficiency (CRI) might
be adaptive to sustain myocardial performance in the presence of increased loading
conditions. It was hypothesized that in children with CRI, LV systolic function is impaired
despite increased LV mass (LVM). Standard echocardiograms were obtained in 130
predialysis children who were aged 3 to 18 yr (59% boys) and had stages II through IV
chronic kidney disease and in 130 healthy children of similar age, gender distribution, and …
