title: [Disorders of diastolic function in patients on hemodialysis].
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Impaired cardiac function is frequently present in patients on maintenance haemodialysis.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To assess the left ventricular diastolic function in patients on haemodialysis.
  
  
  METHODS
  We used 2D and pulsed wave Doppler echocardiography to evaluate the left ventricular diastolic function in 40 patients on haemodialysis and compared those to healthy controls.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Majority of Doppler parameters were changed in patients on haemodialysis. Diastolic dysfunction was present in 77.5% patients. In comparison to the healthy controls haemodialysis patients showed significant increase in peak velocity of late diastolic filling, (A wave, 76.82 +/- 23.76 cm/s vs. 58.46 +/- 9.65 cm/s p < 0.001) and reduction in the E/A ratio (1.00 +/- 0.26 vs. 1.26 +/- 0.31 p < 0.001).
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There was significant impairment in left ventricular diastolic function in patients on haemodialysis.
