Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) frequently occurs in chronic kidney disease
(CKD) and is associated with heart failure and higher mortality. LVDD is observed in patients …

Aims Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) and LV systolic dysfunction (LVSD) are
prevalent in CKD, but their prognostic relevance is debatable. We intent to verify whether …

Background: Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction is common in non-dialysis chronic
kidney disease (ND-CKD) patients; however, the prevalence estimated according to the new …

Diastolic dysfunction is frequently observed in end‐stage kidney disease (ESKD), and ESKD
patients have many risk factors for heart failure (HF), including hypertension, diabetes, and …

BACKGROUND: The disadvantageous effect of kidney dysfunction on left ventricular (LV)
diastolic function is still unknown. METHODS: Forty non-chronic kidney disease (CKD) …

Background: Diastolic heart failure is the most common clinical form of heart failure. Tissue
Doppler imaging (TDI) is often used to quantitate left ventricular (LV) diastolic function. The …

Background: There is a significant worldwide burden of CKD; which is likely to increase
further. Cardiovascular diseases constitute major cause of morbidity and mortality in CKD …

Background: Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction in chronic kidney disease (CKD)
patients frequently leads to the development of congestive heart failure. We evaluated …

Aims Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and LV diastolic dysfunction are cardiac changes
commonly observed in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) as well as hypertension …

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) manifest an increased prevalence of
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality compared with age-matched persons, and this …
