title: [Clinical analysis of cardiac arrhythmias in patients with chronic renal failure treated conservatively. I. Evaluation of cardiac arrhythmias].
abstract: On in-patient basis 24-hr electrocardiographic Holter monitoring was performed in 20 patients with chronic renal failure (c.r.f.) on conservative treatment (10 women and 10 men, aged 43.6 +/- 9.8 years), in 10 patients with chronic primary glomerulonephritis without arterial hypertension and renal failure (2 women and 8 men, aged 34.2 +/- 10.5 years), and in 10 patients with primary arterial hypertension without clinical symptoms of renal disease (1 woman and 9 men, aged 36.6 +/- 9.5 years). No atrio-ventricular conduction disturbances were found in patients with c.r.f. Supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias occurred in 90% of the patients. Ventricular arrhythmias were observed in 8% of c.r.f. patients. Among them simple ventricular extrasystoles (Lown 0-3) predominated and they were found in 65% of the patient. Numbers of ventricular extrasystoles were small and amounted to 44.7 per 24 hrs. Cardiac arrhythmias registered in both comparative groups were not different from those found in c.r.f. patients. The results suggest that chronic renal failure in patients on conservative treatment does not peculiarly predispose to the occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias.
