Regression of left ventricular hypertrophy after conversion to nocturnal hemodialysis

TLDR
Reductions in BP with NHD are accompanied by regression of LVH, and there was no relationship between changes in LVMI and changes in BP or Hb in the CHD cohort.

Diurnal physiology: core principles with application to the pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of myocardial hypertrophy and failure.

TL;DR: Recent advances in circadian biology and cardiovascular function are focused on, with particular emphasis on how this applies to human myocardial hypertrophy and heart failure, and the implications and importance for translational medicine.
Journal ArticleDOI

The advantages and challenges of increasing the duration and frequency of maintenance dialysis sessions

TL;DR: This Review outlines the advantages of longer and/or more frequent dialysis sessions and highlights the barriers to adoption of such regimens, which largely relate to economics, patient willingness, and organization of dialysis units.
Journal ArticleDOI

Volume control in peritoneal dialysis patients guided by bioimpedance spectroscopy assessment.

TL;DR: This study shows that the use of OH as determined by bioimpedance spectroscopy may facilitate volume control in peritoneal dialysis patients.

The International Quotidian Dialysis Registry: annual report 2007.

TL;DR: This fifth annual report of the IQDR describes a proposed governance structure that will facilitate international collaboration, stakeholder input and funding, data sources and participating registries, recruitment to date and patient baseline characteristics, and an agenda for future research.
Journal ArticleDOI

Therapeutic applications of circadian rhythms for the cardiovascular system.

TL;DR: Leading-edge therapeutic applications of circadian biology are described including timing of therapy to maximize efficacy in treating heart disease (chronotherapy); novel biomarkers discovered by testing for genomic, proteomic, metabolomic, or other factors at different times of day and night (chronobiomarkers); and novel pharmacologic compounds that target the circadian mechanism with potential clinical applications (new chronobiology drugs).

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.

Patterns of left ventricular hypertrophy and geometric remodeling in essential hypertension

TL;DR: Correspondence of left ventricular mass in concentric remodeling appeared to reflect offsetting by volume "underload" of the effects of pressure overload, whereas eccentric hypertrophy was associated with concomitant pressure and volume overload.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical and echocardiographic disease in patients starting end-stage renal disease therapy

TL;DR: It is concluded that clinical and echocardiographic cardiovascular disease are already present in a very high proportion of patients starting ESRD therapy and are independent mortality factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Echocardiographic criteria for left ventricular hypertrophy: the Framingham heart study

TL;DR: Until outcome guided criteria for LV hypertrophy are developed, application of sex-specific criteria based on a healthy population distribution of LV mass offer the best approach to echocardiographic diagnosis of LVhypertrophy.

Impact of left ventricular hypertrophy on survival in end-stage renal disease.

TL;DR: Left ventricular hypertrophy appears to be an important, independent, determinant of survival in patients receiving therapy for end-stage renal failure in patients beginning renal replacement therapy.
