[Effect of hemodialysis on functional parameters of the left ventricle].
Many cardiac functional disorders are developed in chronic renal failure. The aim of our work was the echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular functional parameters in patients on haemodialysis. We observed that left ventricular end-diastolic volume, left ventricular end-systolic volume and stroke volume significantly decreased after haemodialysis. Left ventricular ejection fraction increased after haemodialysis, but not significantly. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure decreased significantly after haemodialysis while heart rate increased significantly. During the haemodialysis, many haemodynamic changes are observed. Analysis of cardiac functional status is essential before the haemodialysis starts.
