The term cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) increasingly has been used without a consistent or
well-accepted definition. To include the vast array of interrelated derangements, and to …

In patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing dialysis, hypertension is
common but often inadequately controlled. The prevalence of hypertension varies widely …

Background and objectives: Hemodialysis is associated with hemodynamic instability, acute
cardiac ischemia, and the development of regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMAs). This …

Sudden cardiac arrest is the most common cause of death among patients with end-stage
kidney disease (ESKD) maintained on hemodialysis. Here we sought to identify dialysis …

Hemodynamic stress during hemodialysis (HD) results in recurrent segmental ischemic
injury (myocardial stunning) that drives cumulative cardiac damage. We performed a fully …

Management of blood pressure (BP) in patients with chronic kidney disease receiving
dialysis (stage 5D) provides a significant challenge for healthcare professionals. The …

Current conventional hemodialysis (HD) is largely an industrialized process, with
inadequate attention to the role that the dialysis treatment itself may play in the development …

Noninvasive quantification of myocardial fibrosis in end-stage renal disease is challenging.
Gadolinium contrast agents previously used for cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) …

Uremic cardiomyopathy is responsible for high morbidity and mortality rates among patients
with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end‐stage renal disease (ESRD); however, the early …

Background. Whereas haemodialysis (HD) is lifesaving by replacement of renal function,
there are data to suggest that the HD procedure itself may contribute to the high cardiac risk …
