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.

Prospects for Daily Nocturnal Hemodialysis (DNHD).

TL;DR: Virtual Mentor is a monthly bioethics journal published by the American Medical Association and shows that patients undergoing daily nocturnal hemodialysis have better medical results and lower overall health costs than patients treated with tradition dialysis.

Emodialisi notturna: un trattamento alternativo per una migliore qualità della vita.

TL;DR: All of these novel dialysis strategies offer reliable opportunities for uremic patients, but further trials are needed to determine whether alternative hemodialysis can reduce morbidity and mortality in this high-risk population of patients.

Abnormal geometry and hypertrophy of left ventricle in patients with chronic kidney disease

TL;DR: Volum durumu ve beslenme gibi geleneksel olmayan faktorler de sol ventrikul yeniden sekillenmesinde onemliydi, yas ve serum albumin ESVH ile iliskiliydi.

Nutritional status in nocturnal hemodialysis

TL;DR: The findings of this thesis implicate that it is important to consider nocturnal hemodialysis for dialysis patients with suboptimal nutritional status, as patients receiving noct nighttime hemodials have less or no dietary restrictions with favorable biochemical results compared with conventional he modialysis.

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.

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.

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.
