Structural remodeling of myocardium in patients with arterial hypertension, receiving chronic haemodyalisis
Aim. Study of role of terminal renal failure, haemodialysis, arterial hypertension on myocardial remodeling. Methods. 371 patients (172 - on program haemodialysis, 116 - with predialysis renal failure, 83 - with preserved renal function) were included into the study. Standard methods of investigations were used. Results. In patients with terminal renal failure types of myocardial remodeling depended on duration of chronic kidney disease and arterial hypertension, blood pressure (BP) level and serum lipoproteins level. Left ventricular mass index (LVMI) depended on gender, age, BP and serum lipoproteins concentrations. Conclusion. Arterial hypertension and chronic kidney disease predisposes to myocardial remodeling in patients with terminal renal failure, receiving program haemodialysis.
