Effects of thrice weekly nocturnal hemodialysis on arterial stiffness.

TLDR
These data indicate that arterial stiffness is ameliorated by implementation of longer hemodialysis sessions, and NHD was associated with improvements in augmentation index, ejection duration and subendocardial viability ratio.

Adverse effects of conventional thrice-weekly hemodialysis: is it time to avoid 3-day interdialytic intervals?

TL;DR: Current available epidemiologic and pathophysiologic evidence on the adverse effects related to the long interdialytic interval of thrice-weekly hemodialysis is summarized and the need to research further alternative dialysis practices that could mitigate these risks is discussed.

In-Center Nocturnal Hemodialysis Versus Conventional Hemodialysis: A Systematic Review of the Evidence.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a systematic review of the literature to determine the effects of in-center nocturnal hemodialysis (in-center HD) versus conventional HD on clinically relevant outcomes.

Cardiovascular benefits of daily haemodialysis: peeling the onion

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the potential beneficial effects on the CVS in CKD5D patients by examining the potential role that extended dialysis schedules (both in terms of dialysis hours and frequency) might have in ameliorating or abrogating the wide range of factors involved in the pathophysiology of excessive cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Effect of Nocturnal Hemodialysis versus Conventional Hemodialysis on End-Stage Renal Disease: A Meta-Analysis and Systematic Review.

TL;DR: NHD was superior to CHD for cardiovascular-associated and uremia-associated results, QOL, and drug usage; for number of hospitalizations, CHD was relatively better than NHD.

Recommendations regarding quantitation in M-mode echocardiography: results of a survey of echocardiographic measurements.

TL;DR: The survey shows significant interobserver and interlaboratory variation in measurement when examining the same echoes and indicates a need for ongoing education, quality control and standardization of measurement criteria.

Echocardiographic determination of left ventricular mass in man. Anatomic validation of the method.

Richard B. Devereux, +1 more
- 01 Apr 1977 - 
TL;DR: The best method for LVM-E identified combined cube function geometry with a modified convention for determination of left ventricular internal dimension (LVID), posterior wall thickness (PWT), and interventricular septal thickness (IVST), which excluded the thickness of endocardial echo lines from wall thicknesses and included the thickness in LVID.

Arterial Stiffness and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease and Stroke: The Rotterdam Study

TL;DR: Aortic pulse wave velocity is an independent predictor of coronary heart disease and stroke in apparently healthy subjects and carotid distensibility as measured in this study was not independently associated with cardiovascular disease.
