[Echocardiographic data from chronic dialysis patients in Dakar].
The authors report the results of a prospective study about echocardiographic parameters of 14 chronic dialyzed patients. Mean age was 44.4 +/- 12 (extremes: 16 and 63). There are 12 men (86%) and 2 women (14%). The main renal disease responsible was nephroangiosclerosis (9 cases, 64.3%). Hypertension is found in all the patients, anemia in 13 (92.8%). The heart, as shown by echocardiography, was concerned in 13 patients (92.8%). The main abnormalities found were: left ventricular hypertrophy (13 cases: 92.8%), left ventricular dysfunction (4 cases: 28.5%), abnormality in left ventricular relaxation (3 cases: 21.4%), pericardial effusion (4 cases: 28.5%).
